This interview aired in 2008, immediately after the release of The Beauty Created and shortly after I saw JBIII live in concert. I knew from that performance and his releases at that time, which included the highly acclaimed Dopamine, that this brother was gonna turn the music world on it's ear. Little did I know that he would go on to start his own movement, Schwaza, while appearing on incredible releases by The Foreign Exchange, Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment, Brandon Williams and many others along the way. Take a trip back in time as Jesse and I chat about his inspirations, labels and more while enjoying some good tunes
