Congrats are in order for Jay 305, who has just inked a record deal with Interscope Records. The West Coast rapper started building a buzz last year thanks to his affiliation with Dom Kennedy’s Other People’s Money label, and caught the attention of execs like Interscope exec Joie Manda, who I noticed tweeted about Jay last week. “He’s got a different perspective,” Interscope publicist Ray Alba said in a statement. “He’s older and wiser than a lot of young cats and been through some sh*t. His perspective and his story is going to be what’s refreshing in West Coast hip-hop.” The west is on fire right now, and hopefully Jay will only add more fuel to it. Congrats again! (Although per our previous Twitter convo, I still think your rap name sounds like an AIM screenname, LOL!)

Interscope executive Joie Manda’s name is being heard a lot in recent weeks, after Dame Dash called him out for being a “culture vulture,” which resulted in Funk Flex going at Dame and riding for his good friend/former employee. Taking time to clear the air on his own, Joie hit The Combat Jack Show recently and spoke on the “beef” of sorts, his gig over at Interscope, how he came up and more. Listen in below.
