D Jones sits down with the Real of the Most podcast to deliver a masterclass in hip-hop longevity and street authenticity that's as rare as it is valuable in today's industry landscape.

The Philadelphia legend takes us deep into his journey from North Philly's Delhond Dolphin neighborhood, where he started as a young T-shirt runner observing the block's dynamics before finding his voice through rap. With remarkable candor, he reconstructs the electric energy of Philly's DVD era – a pivotal moment when raw talent was captured on camera and distributed throughout the city, creating a breeding ground for some of hip-hop's most distinctive voices.

What sets this conversation apart is Jones' profound understanding of his own place in the ecosystem. "I couldn't rap as good as Had," he admits about another Philly legend. "So I had to find what I do. It don't got to be better than what nobody do. It just got to be what I do." This philosophy of authentic self-expression rather than imitation has been the cornerstone of his remarkable staying power in an industry that regularly discards artists after their fifteen minutes.

The most riveting moments come when Jones recounts how his music transcended entertainment to become a genuine force in his community. When Jadakiss came to film a video in his neighborhood, rival factions declared a ceasefire: "The nigga pulled up on me, said yo bro, that shit is off tonight. This is your hood Jones, it's off." Such stories illuminate the real-world impact that authentic artists can have beyond streams and views.

Whether you're a die-hard hip-hop head, an aspiring artist, or simply someone who appreciates stories of perseverance, this conversation offers genuine wisdom about defining success on your own terms. Follow D Jones on all platforms and check out his latest project "Still Counting Blessings" to experience the evolution of a true Philadelphia hip-hop original.

Speaker 2:

For DVD versions so look at that time right. Of course you know, we young, we living in it, we not fully understanding what it is. But when you get a glimpse of what you're doing and what it really is, like did you like? Did that make you like you like? All right, let me create a tape, let me do a full tape. Like, what was the process beyond behind you? All right, let me step off these dvds and do a full tape. Your own point, my boy um me getting a deal yeah

Speaker 4:

what it wasn't before. That Fuck.

Speaker 1:

Everybody was rapping, bro. We all was rapping and going to the studio that's part of being a rapper.

Speaker 2:

That's why I love you though.

Speaker 1:

Bro, meet, got a deal. Read on fucking on demand with toast to this. Aw man, aw man, I got it. We got everybody turning it up. That's when I got low. All right, let me go figure this shit out. And I was just figuring it out, finding little studios, taking my little bread going, and then it's like what's that? Like 09, reek, when we just started figuring that shit out together, like 08? Reek, pull up on me, like what you I'm with Mook Mook, like bro, you doing all this shit by yourself. Dolo, he like man, get in, bro. We're going to go see Reek. Pull up on Reek. Reek, like what you doing. I'm like this is what I'm doing. This is the music he like when you going to the studio. He like all right, come to the studio, he hear it. He say no a little push.

Speaker 1:

You been rocking. That's all I ever had. Just me and him. It'd be me and him.

Speaker 2:

But it's crazy because, like all right the shit I've done.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, like the shit I've done without the shit they have is different.

Speaker 4:

It's crazy, yeah, but I was all right. But thinking back then, like you put the tape together, release it's fire.

Speaker 2:

Snapping and it's been receptive well in the city. It was well receptive Because I like to say that, because sometimes it don't, you know what I mean.

Speaker 4:

Your first tape might not catch. Sometimes it don't Might need to do like 10 of them.

Speaker 1:

Then another thing around the time I dropped my first tape had dissing me, so it's so much motivation on my tip Me got a deal. My dog dissing me, the other dog's dissing me.

Speaker 2:

How that made you feel when he dissed you. That's what I'm like. How did you stop making me feel? That's what made me feel like alright.

Speaker 1:

I gotta go now. My plan before was I could put this bitch in neutral. My man, go get us there and then I figure it out. Right, you feel me? So once that shit happened it was like, ah, fuck it, I gotta figure it out for myself you think he had this dude under a pair of pressure of, like that camera always being in his face.

Speaker 4:

He probably was in the art and music type time no hold on.

Speaker 1:

I think, it was just a moment that they was in.

Speaker 2:

How about this, though? Remember, when you first came out, you was D Jones, had hype man, and now, when you're perfecting your craft and as you're getting better, you're being receptive, different in the streets. Now it's like all right, jones, stepping out of being my hype man and actually being Jones DJ. You don't think it was that?

Speaker 1:

Rob Markman. No, I don't think it was that type of malice Not towards me Rob Markman, you got too much headset, bro Rob Markman. And I'ma tell you why I don't think that Because we always did our own thing. We wasn't sitting up under each other all day.

Speaker 1:

He would call me like yo pull up. I got XYZ going on. Yo, pull up, I'm over here. That's how we met Oskino. He was at a Dice game. He's like yo pull up to this Dice game. Come clean this game up. I pull up to the game. It's O and all the big time drug dealers. I get on. I hit 4-4 up and the heat of the game. I catch four fours. I hit them and leave.

Speaker 1:

Me and Obe been cool since then. Old Ayo, you be with my little cousins. Yeah, I'm going to catch your little ass. All right, man, that's fire. So that'd be the shit. So when that shit happened, we would talk, and then it'd be like I'd be like man, that's some rap shit. I get dissed all the time. Everybody diss me. It's the easy shot. I used to let it bother me. Then it realized, like no, they dissing me because I'm the target. This is what they want to do.

Speaker 1:

So, once I took that power it was like what you gonna do.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so around this time, this is 08, 09 and, uh, you know, dalhan dolphin, you know you you get to be, you get to, uh, you get to meet and build your relationship with east and um, and he's coming down to north philly and you know, be with y'all, chill with y'all.

Well, he just daved in. D-boy. At that time, this freaky man D-Boy that comes over. So it's like what's up D. And then it's like no, he nice and ball he, tough he down in Virginia on all this shit.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, league, tough he's tough he on the same teams.

Speaker 1:

He's that tough. And then he just was like yo, I rap, I'm like what I ain't fucking ball, I rap, I'm like what. Like I ain't fucking ball, I rap Like you. Serious, nigga you in school, nigga you. He's like I rap, bro, freaky like yo, you got hair Freaky, send me, play me something. Like tell him to send me something. He sent me a song called Polito. We do that. You come to the city, we lock in down, jazz you up shit. Just before. I don't know if it was Teefee's then, but Rob Markman took him to 16th.

Speaker 4:

Fantastic, yeah, that's where.

Speaker 1:

I was recording at with my homie Wally. We was recording there. I can tell you, we go down there, we lock in, we grab two Rob.

Speaker 2:

Markman Wally.

Speaker 1:

Wally. All bangers yeah, all bang beats. Off a bunch of his fucking beats we record all weekend down there After that it was just up it started happening fast. It seemed like it was happening fast for him.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, it was tough.

Speaker 2:

Rob Markman. 3 years after Massive Bill come along, I could see you saying that, because he really just stepped out rapping yeah.

Speaker 1:

But look, he was working. Yeah, that was the thing we we in Philly. We just we don't got no labels and we ain't had no artists.

Speaker 1:

We ain't had no resources here to know how to move first of all. So we coming off DVD shit, we just figuring this shit out, we just really copying what we see the next nigga doing. So that's why when you see, like bro, it was a period when Meek got on, that's when you were hearing it, you got Meek Mill's beat. That's where the tight beats come from. If you ask me Niggas looking for that, Like trying to find the bounce.

Speaker 2:

What was the sign? Y'all at that time, like 51? Bro all the labels was here, bro, uh-huh.

Speaker 1:

It was just niggas ain't know what to do with it. Niggas was getting calls they ain't even believe. Niggas was getting calls they ain't believe about. Bro. Niggas was like motherfuckers was calling Bob's phone. He thought niggas was playing on his phone. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3:

Bro, we ain't know this shit was happening, bro, shit crazy.

Speaker 2:

We was in it.

Speaker 1:

We was kids in it. The oldest one of us was 24 at the time. We was just doing that shit. By the time we figured out how to do the structure, it was over. Yeah niggas got kids Niggas start.

Speaker 2:

Getting kids Niggas start getting cases.

Speaker 1:

Niggas start getting deals.

Speaker 2:

Just coming home.

Speaker 1:

It's over what we doing. Shit Philly crazy.

Speaker 2:

It was nutty Ph. But wow, philly is wow. But look, that's, that's crazy. And the special thing about you is right, you've been able to be jonesy through everything. That's why I'm like this boy is just he, he, resistant. Now I mean he is like you, figure out dope ways to reinvent yourself and come out now. I mean because, all right, you, me and east man, we, in a time of y'all was, y'all was youtube, darlings, y'all was the first people actually watching on youtube. After After that, now we have the, the more structured putting out tapes beats just not doing it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, just not putting out anything, because now I'm more focused on my brand and actually what's going on with the structure and how I got things so, like you've been able to, like, travel your way and try, like to go through all of it, learn your journey. It still rap at a high level. Got to commend you in that, you know. I mean you know, you going through your journey. Just just talk about, like, how hard it is to stay ambitious and motivated in this game, especially coming from where we coming from.

Speaker 1:

That should have break you. That should have break you because the list of I can do it like them, don't go so far. And then the higher it up, the thinner it get. So you got to think like if you from New York, y'all got 10 niggas, that's that nigga, and at one point was him that y'all can pick from 20. 20. But you on point, we got five, we got three. Three, if you don't want to count the women.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we got three and two possibles.

Speaker 1:

You feel what I'm saying.

Speaker 3:

I'm with you.

Speaker 1:

So it's like you got to see it already. Like yo, bro, this is what we doing. However, we got to do it. I can't do it. I couldn't rap as good as had. You feel what I'm saying. So I had to find what I do. It don't got to be better than what nobody do. It just got to be what I do. I just got to master what I do. You feel what I'm saying? Being around East I don't have the other resources or I'm not East, east, walk in 6'4" light skin. He's still in already. You feel what I'm saying.

Speaker 3:

He's still in already.

Speaker 2:

He's still in already To the maximum capacity.

Speaker 1:

And he can rap Light skin niggas. I don't have that, but what I do got I maxed Right. You feel what I'm saying?

Speaker 3:

And when I'm around you.

Speaker 1:

I don't want nothing from you but to win, that's fire. That's why he, my man, because I don't ask him for nothing, but yo, I'm coming on this tour, yo I need this verse, and that's why you able to play your role and be where you at.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, you feel me. That's what's up.

Speaker 1:

Right. So it's like I always just figured that part out. Like everything else you try to do is hate for real, for real, like your man on and you trying to figure out how to be better than your man or trying to step with him. Yeah, you hate him, bro. Let that nigga shine and you go get yours. It's go, it's go. Now there's times when my homies be like yo, that's a whole topic right there.

Speaker 1:

There be times when nigg he's like yo, you too fallbackish. I ain't saying OD, but go stand on the couch where you belong. Right, I be smoking in the corner with these niggas laughing and joking, Bro. Why you with us? We?

Speaker 3:

got up there. Yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 1:

All right.

Speaker 4:

Like you know what I'm saying, so it be like Down to earth, chill fallback, cool kind of collective dude, but I know who I am?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I'm cool with that, Right. When it's my night I'm up there. It's not my night, Right?

Speaker 4:

I mean I could go out there and get a little light, but it ain't my night. I think you got to be in this shit that. No, like certain people, don't they not in it so they don't know how to move right with this shit. Like certain things you don't do you know what I'm saying. Like you got gotta let your man shine if if that's his. You know what I'm saying this is night every dog got their day right.

Speaker 2:

So so with with what you having like um, you know you're saying he's come, he signed his deal. Mads, appeal, right, I'm gonna keep it real. He's one, he's different. I respect eason and shout out to east because he came in he came in on some different shit. He got signed by Massapelle and Dove Jam in the same year.

Speaker 1:

My dog came in different bro.

Speaker 3:

Speaker 2:

So you being a witness to that and you understanding what that is and you know, like you coming along and re-insurges of Jonesy and the lifers Talk about how that came about, you know, I mean, like you turning it over and making it that.

Speaker 1:
