Kingston: Through Myspace. I met J.R. on Myspace I had my page up with a couple of songs and my goal was to hit him up at least 3x a day and to see him replay back was amazing to me.

24: What is it like being able to work with one of the hottest producers out right now like J.R. Rotem?
Kingston: He’s a talented dude and I’m in a great position and he’s like my older brother. We’re cool with or without music involved.

24: What song on the album means the most to you and why?
Kingston: I would say “Prosecutor” because it’s a true story about my family that happened and I actually used that situation as motivation to further my career.

24: What do you feel you bring to the table as an artist?

Kingston: We are in the process of doing that right now so the fans can look out for that soon.

24: Your song “Colors” featuring Rick Ross and The Game has been making a lot of noise, so how come you didn’t choose it as your first single?

24: A lot of times when artist come out at a young age they get put in a box and not judge by their music so how will you silence that misconception that age limits someone musical?
Kingston: I think the album will do the talking by itself, it will show that music is music period.
