J-Hood Exits D-Block Partnership
In an online statement, J-Hood explains why he left the label. He had this to say. “Around 3 1/2 weeks ago I asked to be released from the label I’ve been signed to. After that occurrence all legal procedures have been properly handled in accordance. Basically there’s an instance in which we all run out of patience and take upon action to better our situation. I think I’ve been loyal since the beginning to the label and the individuals that run it. I have devoted six years of my life to making our movement prosper with no realistic reward or success, knowing my worth and what I’m capable of. If for any reason I happen to fail to accomplish what I intend to which is be successful, I feel more comfortable knowing it will be from a decision I made, and not one that was made by the next man”The 22-year-old rapper also dispelled rumors that his D-Block chain was taken away after he announced his departure from the label.
“The chain that supposedly was taken away from me is and has been in my possession since it was purchased, but I refuse to wear it because I have mentally moved on, meaning I’d rather have no type of affiliation with D-Block at all. I’m past that point in my life I have a whole new focus, which is concentrating on making my new movement as strong and successful as possible.
“And for the record, the chain was not given to me by the label but instead purchased by me, so picture me letting someone take it away from me. To put everything in perspective, I will be releasing multiple freestyles and songs on various mixtapes under my own company.
“So now that I have clarified the situation. I will give you a glimpse of what’s to come. I will be signed to my own label ODG Ent. (On Da Grind) as of next week. Last but not least, you can log on to YouTube.com to see the five-minute video interview of me showing the chain and actual release form. Say goodbye to D-Block and say hello to ODG!”
