SWEET JAMES JONES STORIES SWEET JAMES JONES STORIES A pioneer in the South's quest for respect in the Hip Hop world and one of the most colorful characters to emerge from the music scene which ultimately topped rap charts at the turn of the century, Chad 'Pimp C' Butler's controversial life - and suspicious death in 2007 - left behind many unanswered questions, a family divided, and scores of talented new artists inspired by his group UGK's music. Intertherm blower assembly. Sweet Jones pays tribute to the extremely talented - yet bipolar and complex - musician who embodied the Southern dream. Written by the founder and Editor-in-Chief of esteemed Southern rap publication OZONE Magazine and compiled from interviews with Pimp C himself, his mother and manager Weslyn 'Mama Wes' Monroe, UGK rap partner Bun B, and hundreds of friends, family members, and collaborators like Snoop Dogg, Scarface, Too $hort, 8Ball & MJG, Jazze Pha, David Banner, Mannie Fresh, Paul Wall, Slim Thug, Trae, and Willie D of the Geto Boys, Sweet Jones is a must-read for any Southern rap fan. Review 'An extraordinary and complete work. [Pimp C was] the most important and influential musician in Southern rap history.' - Music journalist Matt Sonzala 'A work of intense reporting and deep love by Julia Beverly, the founder and often one-woman engine behind Ozone magazine. It's a virtual ticktock of Pimp C's life, covering his school choir days; his early years as a producer; UGK's success; his drug use; his many squabbles; his criminal history; his family life; the comeback that never quite came; and the legal troubles that dogged his estate after his death, from a combination of prescription cough syrup intoxication and sleep apnea.

It also ends up being a document of the last innocent days of Houston rap, before eyes and hands were fixed on it.' - The New York Times 'Fascinating, well-researched biography of a brilliant, troubled, flawed, talented, compassionate individual who changed the world despite all that stood in his path. [SWEET JONES] shattered every single assumption I would make about rappers - the book humanizes him and his family and friends, and exposes his genius and his flaws. An incredible story - hilarious, difficult, tragic, and frustrating throughout.'

- Professor Andrew Cencini 'One of the most entertaining and informative rap books that I've ever read. I gained a whole new level of respect and understanding of [UGK] through the book. [It] took me into that world, into Short Texas, into Bun B's mind, into Pimp C's life. It's almost like an action movie.
