"People think it is Gengetone that has put me on the spot, but I started hustling way long ago.
"I was a street DJ for a considerable period, and after DJ Lyta, I was the next big DJ, and the money was flowing back then," he affirmed his statements.

Beyond the deejaying, Jones revealed he is also a music producer, director and has been heavily involved in the previous projects he has been part of.
Furthermore, the DJ defended his approach to collaborating with young and upcoming artists, dismissing any notions of exploitation. As an established artist, his aim is to uplift and bring these talented individuals into the limelight.
"My agenda is to change the lives of others, not mine. If it were just about me, I would have already relaxed. But I'm striving to make a difference in the lives of those in the ghetto," he explained.
