Wise men have always said, “Patience is a virtue,” but for the average person patience means nothing more than a waste of time; especially in the music industry where you’re only as good as your last hit record. However, for Georgia native Jody Breeze, patience has been more than a virtue. It has been a talent acquired and achieved. While waiting for nearly five years, Jody has illustrated that he has been more than patient in waiting for his dreams to come true. Although there have been numerous one hit wonders to have come and gone with yesterday’s wind since his initial signing to Sho’ Nuff Records at 17, has stayed around developing his craft as both a writer and a rapper. He was even in the hit group, Boyz N Da Hood along side of band members Young Jeezy and Gorilla Zoe. However obstacles would continue appear in his road to fame. Band mate Big Gee was arrested. There would be a constant struggle between his homes with Sho’ Nuff Records and Bad Boy South/Block Entertainment – and Jody had to make a decision. While deciding to leave his nest at Sho’ Nuff records, he would continue to let people know who he was with several mix tapes, landing him the nomination of the Mix Tape of Year Award from Ozone Magazine.
Lexilex: What’s up Jody, what’s been going on with you?
Jody Breeze: Right now, I’m just recording and working on my album. I just got out of the situation with Sho’Nuff. I’ve just been working, trying to shop around for a deal. You know?
Lexilex: I know that you’ve been rapping for a long time now. What was it about the game that made you want to be a part of it?Jody Breeze: I’m straight from the hood. Music has been a big part of my life for a long time. I haven’t seen myself as being a rapper though. Once I started doing it and seeing the people reactions to it, and it was something legal – it helped me stay out of trouble, then I just tried something new and it worked for me.
