	Video: SL Jones x DJ Burn One - "Dope Man"	05.17.2012


	Paraphernalia Mixtape Now Scheduled For May 23 Release

Critical Praise for SL Jones: "With an analytical mind and lyrical dexterity to go with impeccable flows and harmonies, [SL Jones] brings a complexity that's rare." - Complex "Jonesy...we ride for you." FADER "SL Jones isn't your stereotypically lyrically lacking rapper." - XXL Magazine The Video: A few weeks back, SL Jones & DJ Burn One released the video for "D.A.R.E.," the debut visual from *Paraphernalia. The project, which first started as an EP, has since developed into a 12-track mixtape that is scheduled for a May 23rd* release. Today, SL Jones & DJ Burn One are excited to release the tape's latest visual, for the track "Dope Man." While the "D.A.R.E." video was a strictly solo clip, with SL using the track to touch on a number of more personal topics, "Dope Man" features SL and Burn One in the clip together, a rare in-video cameo for the producer. "It's rare in the music world, but Burn One and me, we're actually homies," says SL. "The whole Paraphernalia tape has been a truly collaborative effort between he and I, so it was important to make sure he's represented in the visuals." The video, directed by Red Audio, is a quick-cutting clip shot that captures SL and Burn One in their natural environment, during a recent day spent out in Atlanta, and, despite the song's title, viewers won't see any inflated kingpin dreams here. "I wanted to represent 'all things dope' with this video; not just 'Dope Man' in the literal sense of drugs," explains SL. "And the way that Red shot and edited the video has a lot to do with that. All we had to do was turn up, and Red took care of the rest."

The Background: With the Rock on his back and a Razorbacks fitted cocked just so on his dome, rapper SL Jones is striking out in 2011 with a slew of new projects as he continues to put his hometown, Little Rock, Arkansas, on the map. Jones' new mixtape, *The Number 23, was hosted by Don Cannon, and the retail re-release offered a slimmed-down non-DJ version that included two previously unreleased tracks, along with features from Pill, Waka Flocka, Killer Mike, Trae Tha Truth, Yo Gotti, Rocko, and more, along with production from Lex Luger, Don Cannon, Shawty Redd,* and M16. SL Jones is currently working on a joint, 12-track mixtape with DJ Burn One, *Paraphernalia* which will be released on May 23rd.
