“Known as "LDJ" our newest community member is a Hip Hop artist hailing from the east coast of the United States. He is no newbie and the pedigree LDJ brings with him to R & R World is much more than just scooby snacks. He definitely has a professional sound. He uploaded 5 songs and all of of them are worth a listen. My personal favorite is Bound Up featuring Jermaine Paul but I understand most of you will be more interested in his collaboration with Jim Jones on the track Baseline. The music video for Baseline is available on his music page and actually features a cameo from Redman as well. ”

"I’m influenced by some of the greats -- Method Man and Redman of course. Just the guys who paved a way for the next generation in this Hip-Hop game. I respect them all and hope to get on their level one day." Independent artists have to strive hard to get recognition and notoriety, especially in an era where it appears everyone is picking up the mic and calling him or herself a “rapper”. Getting people to notice you sometimes would require one to enlist the assistance from an established artist in the same genre -- having a handful of artist co-sign and collaborate with you must count for something. Taking time to speak with Nanuet raised artist, LDJ, getting to know him personally and being inviting into his world, he leaves a lasting impression; a rather impressive impression at that. Having worked with some of the best in the Hip-Hop game, LDJ’s strive is not unnoticed.

“Meet LDJ – more than just initials for a name; it’s a business. The New York based rapper is the sole artist on his Dollar J Records, record label – creating a solid foundation of business, talent and creativity that any up and coming artist would aspire to be a part of when the label is enlisting talent. Having a background of working with noted HipHop artists with minimum following; check out his latest video that features Jim Jones and has a cameo by Redman. LDJ is making moves under the radar but are indeed moves worth recognizing. ”
