Award-winning music biographer, Jake Brown (Prince,
2Pac, Big Smo, Rick Rubin) and Multi-Platinum, Grammy and
Emmy-nominated producer, N.O. Joe have
teamed for the latter’s memoir, “World of Mine,” which
will have a companion documentary. This news comes as Scarface,
with whom Joe had a tremendous amount of success, excitedly
took to Instagram to share some of their latest collaborations, said to be for
his new album.
Joseph
Johnson aka N.O. Joe has a career that spans both decades and
genres. In addition to being Grammy and Emmy-nominated, as well as
multi-platinum, Joe is credited with being an architect of early southern rap
music for his collaborations with legends like Scarface (The
Diary, Last of a Dying Breed, The Untouchable), Geto Boys (The Resurrection, Til Death Do Us
Part) and UGK
(Dirty Money, Ridin Dirty.) Not to be
pigeonholed, Joe’s collaborators also include the likes of Brian
McKnight, Jodeci, D’Angelo, LL Cool J, AZ and Ice
Cube in addition to several Multi-Platinum soundtracks and
movie scores. The name of his production company, Gumbo
Funk, is a testament to his range and diversity.
Today
Joe continues to spread his Gumbo Funk magic in addition to keeping his finger
on the pulse with his new company, M-Pulse Global, a
multi-media label group who signed Spuf Don as its
flagship artist. Another New Orleans native, and himself a producer, Spuf Don
first came on the scene as a member of The Classmates with Travis
Scott. The duo released many projects with Joe in the
development seat. Spuf has since gone on to make an impression as a solo artist
having released his 2016 debut “Element of Surprise” which
featured his old group mate. Keeping things in the family, Spuf also
contributed three tracks to Scarface’s “Deeply Rooted” album.
