(New Music) J Staffz - 'Pretty Little Things'


I really like this song due to the fact that it is a mid-tempo ballad. The song goes on to tell a story about how J feels about his girl and how she is beautiful without all of the pretty little things.

(New Music) J Staffz - 'She's A Keeper'


Now in all honesty I was unsure if he would sing or rap on this track but he ended up singing on the track. The song overall is decent. On this track he sings about his feelings for his girl and how he meets her. He goes on to explain that she is so good to him that unlike his girls in the past that she is a keeper.

(New Music) J Staffz - 'She's A Keeper'

A few weeks ago I had no idea that J Staffz sung algo. I only knew him to be a rapper. However once I saw the music video for 'Pillow' by Dee Ft. J Staffz I then realized that he is a singer also. For him to both produce this beat and sing on it is really good. All in all I like this song with it's real chill vibe that it gives me.

(Artist Spotlight) J Staffz


Jabari Stafford Bowry. Born September 24 1985, “J Staffz” comes from his first and middle names. “I was named after my Uncle Stafford who died in a car accident when he was 19. I never met him. My mom always said he was a genius.” Jabari started taking piano lessons at 7 years old through RCM for 8 years. At 10, he went to St. Kitts and Nevis and learned how to play the steel drums. “I’ve learned all the songs on the single tenor, double tenor and bass in one-two months”. J Staffz was the drummer in his high-school band and took lessons for that as well. “I started making my own remixes by putting vocals from one song on a beat from another song. Before I knew it, I was making my own beats for the vocals.” After barely getting though high school and dropping out of college J Staffz began networking, competing in beat battles and showing his beats to whoever would listen. “I use to give a lot of artists beats for free if they put them in the right hands or on the radio.” J Staffz then attended Metalworks Institute to learn Audio Engineering & Recording. “After about 4 months in Metalworks, he already had a few songs on rotation in Toronto. “I don’t really have as much of an interest in engineering as I thought so I stopped and focused on producing.” Since then, J Staffz has worked with over 150 artists. J Staffz also works as an in-house producer for Silverbridge Media, composing music for Viacom (VH1, MTV, HBO, BET, Discovery Channel, Nickelodeon and Paramount).
