Roy Jones Jr. Signs Atlanta Rapper Bone Crusher, New Projects From Trick Daddy, Choppa
By Houston Williams

Bone Crusher is mostly known for his fearlessness and Crunk classics like "Never Scared," but the Atlanta rapper has a fan in Roy Jones, Jr., who recently signed the rapper to a one-album deal.

The album, titled Release the Beast, will hit stores July 18 via Jones' Body Head Entertainment.

"It surprised me, because I didn't know Bone Crusher could rap that good," Jones told AllHipHop.com. "Oh my god, he's got mad flow. He's deadly. I heard his music, but I didn't know. On this album, there's not a bad song on there."

Jones and Body Head have also teamed with 845 Entertainment to release projects by Trick Daddy, Choppa (formerly of No Limit), Rush, VI.com, Swellz and 3D, a rap group comprised of Jones' two sons and their cousin.

845 is headed by Greg Miller and Jarred Weisfeld, the former manager of Ol' Dirty Bastard and Bizzy Bone. The company's roster includes Bizzy Bone, Pastor Troy, Lil J and Trina.

"We got a wonderful joint venture. I can't wait to get going. Jarred and them got their stuff together," said Jones, who has another solo album slated for a late 2006 release date. "BodyHead/845, we got the Bone Crusher album coming out, the Trick [Daddy] DVD, we got Boneface on the way. We got a couple things poppin' off. We on the grind now."

Weisfeld added, "Roy's vision, together with our imagination, will bring the world powerful content that will make us a premiere entertainment company."

Trick Daddy's DVD The Real Entourage, due June 26, follows the rapper and his crew as they careen through the urban streets of America. Choppa's as-yet- untitled LP hits stores on July 18.

Wack signs wack.  No surprise.

I've tried to erase the memory of hearing Roy Jones' first album, but I just can't...I'm scared for life.

[Sikotic™]

Roy should stick to music. He won't get knocked the fuck out at least.

I feel for you. I saw Roy Jones perform on the "Best Damn Sports Show Period" and it's one of the most horrid events I've ever witnessed. I can't imagine hearing a whole album of that.

Yep...a whole album of cheap-ass beats that sound like they were made with an old Casio keyboard, plus him trying to do triple-cadence rapping, trying to come off energetic but tripping over his own words in the process...he's worse at it than Silkk the Shocker ever was.  I cringe at the memory.

I remember hearing he also filmed a gangsta movie called "Do It Big" which was supposed to come out a couple years ago, but it was wacker than his albums, so they apparently shelved that, too.

Bonecrusher>>>>>>>Roy Jones Jr.

[Dubz]

i heard one rj jr track... "cant be touched" or somethin, that was nice, but other than that dudes garbage i guess

[youngmessnucca]

That song "I Smoke, I Drank" was dope, I dont remeber if RJJ was on it though. Bonecrusher is going to be on the next season of VH1s Celebraty Fit Club, so the album will probably come out around then.

[Citizen-Y]

That was then was an alright track.
