JAY BEZEL: No, I’m never changing! I just evolve naturally with my music. If you listen to my<br />
music when I first got down with Dipset it doesn’t sound the same. I think every artist evolves<br />
naturally, if you can’t do that, you gone get left! I will always keep it authentic regardless of<br />
what’s hot or what another nigga’s doing.<br />
<strong>OHM</strong>: What’s your take on OG’s like the LOX coming back with their same unique style in<br />
this new era of music that’s predominately controlled by the youth?<br />
JAY BEZEL: I love it, L.O.X. came back and that album is crazy! I go by word of mouth and if<br />
nigga’s ain’t talking about your album then I know it’s light weight.<br />
<strong>OHM</strong>: What’s your affiliation with Money Bag Mob?<br />
JAY BEZEL: That’s my shit, I had to venture off and do my own thing! I own that, and I got a<br />
couple of cats that’s going to be coming out under that label. We’re doing a whole Money Bag<br />
movement. We want to bridge the gap between these new cats and the real spitters, we don’t<br />
want to lose our Era.<br />
<strong>OHM</strong>: We always hear of Diss records and internet beefs when it comes to artists parting<br />
ways, what helped keep your peace during the split from Dipset?<br />
JAY BEZEL: The type of nigga I am! The Era I come from…. I get busy with my music, with my<br />
rap shit! I’m never going to flat out Diss a nigga unless he really just jumped off the ledge, cause<br />
at the end of the day, them niggas was fam. I didn’t part on no beef, me and Cam rubbed<br />
shoulders doing songs together, Jim Jones was always giving me game, and me and Juelz<br />
Santana were thick as thieves and even though we went through what we went through, there<br />
was still no beef!<br />
<strong>OHM</strong>: What projects are you currently working on?<br />
JAY BEZEL: BACK TO RAP 2, I’m definitely going to drop a few singles, I’ve also been working<br />
on this mixtape called PAYING HOMAGE, with the re-making records from some of the artists<br />
that influenced me like Biggie, Tupac, Slick Rick…. I’m cooking that up now.<br />
<strong>OHM</strong>: How can our readers connect with you?<br />
JAY BEZEL: My Instagram is The_Real_JayBezel, Twitter is… JayBezel. You can look me up on<br />
anything, all you got to do is type Jay Bezel into the search engine and I’ll pop up. I be on IG<br />
and Facebook heavy!<br />
