Runaway Jones In London, ON

Miles

Published: August 2, 2010Posted in: News

On Saturday July 31, 2010 we came through with the band to play a show in London at the Children’s Museum for the Grickel Festival.

The venue felt like something from ‘Alice in wonderland’ with strangely decorated rooms, cool lighting and a wandering crowd who curiously lurked around the museum with drinks in hand looking for a wide variety of sights and sounds.

Dj Serious had the crowd vibin’ early as we led into a 40 minute set that got the indie rockers grooving, dancing and singing. After the set I snuck down to catch the end of the Balconie’s set which was catchy and melodic and they had tons of stage energy. A dope way to end the festival.

"Runaway Jones demonstrates what a breakout hip-hop album should sound like. Jones’s unique voice and delivery make him one to watch in coming months."

"Miles Jones has hip-hop heavyweights like Black Milk in his corner — now he wants the whole room."

"steps tall with an easy-going hip-hop sound that's as polished as it is reverential. Runaway Jones is the result of a young career honed by family history, a stint in university, international touring and appearances supporting KRS-One, Souls of Mischief, Raekwon and Thunderheist."

"Toronto emcee Miles Jones celebrated the upcoming release of his Runaway Jones album at the Drake Underground Thursday night in front of a sold-out crowd."

"Miles ran away with the hearts and ears of the crowd after giving his all."

"Already an Ontario Independent Music Award winner in 2008, Miles Jones is becoming one of those “hear him now” type of artists."

"To answer Jones's question, "Do you remember them days at a time like this? When the music was fly, and you could rhyme like this?" I'll answer with a solid "Heck, yeah!""

"Jones is impressively mature and introspective for a 25-year-old and has garnered the respect of Detroit production phenom Black Milk. Jones is proof positive that there’s strong rap talent brewing in the north."
