SOUTHERN SOUL ARTIST OF THE YEAR
Jeter Jones Jeter Jones has been everywhere in 2018, 2019 and so far in 2020. We chose his 2018 album "Dhis Him" as #1 on our annual "Best Of" lists. In 2019 in addition to releasing his own music (the single "Package" being most recent) he guested on albums and tracks by Sir Charles Jones, Itz Karma, Ronald "Slack" Jefferson, C-Wright, Lady Q, Marcell Casanova, Sassy D, Tasha Mac, King South, Mr. Nelson, Royal D and perhaps others I missed. By means of his Jones Boyz Ent. label he also introduced us to Itz Karma (winner of "Best Vocal Performance: Female") and Lady Q. He also shared the Blues Critic Award for "Best Dance Or Funk Song" with Sir Charles Jones. | ||
