I walk into Rome Recording Studios, searching for Major Recording Artist JOPAUL, and I’m immediately greeted by a wall of security personnel at the front desk. I identify myself as a writer for RNH Magazine and have a scheduled interview meeting with JOPAUL. Once I enter the recording room, the scene reminds me of the JAY-Z video “BIG PIMPIN” when they where in Trinidad. Exotic women of multiple nationalities are speaking different languages with high animated tones and volume. The scents of Lancome, Marc Jacobs, Dolce Gabbana Light perfume, WINGSTOP lemon pepper chicken wings, Timberland boots, and Cohiba cigar smoke permeates throughout the room. The room is semi-dark with an ultra-beam light shining inside the recording booth.
JOPAUL is literally yelling at the tops of his lungs at the music producer explaining their song “SHAKE IT” is missing something to take it over the top. The producer tells JOPAUL he needs to “TRUST THE PROCESS,” which prompted this response “THE LEGACY OF JOPAUL IS CRAFTED BY GOD AND DEFINED BY ONLY JOPAUL”! So, we need to find the missing piece of this puzzle of greatness. PERIOD! Welcome to the world of JOPAUL. The musical rage of this midsize muscular man wearing a custom hand-painted WUTANG tee-shirt, ocean blue color jeans, and classic Timberland boots silences the entire recording room instantaneously. JOPAUL screams out, “PEOPLE WHY ARE YOU’ LL SO SERIOUS LET’S GET BACK TO HAVING THE TIME OF OUR LIVES”! That’s the crazy genius of JOPAUL; nothing interferes with his pursuit of musical greatness and having the “TIME OF HIS LIFE.”
