Ryshon Jones began his journey as a rhymeslinger after his cousin broke into a car in his neighborhood and found some instrumental cassettes, back in 1998. However, Jones didn’t truly discover his love and passion for rapping until he met a man who shared that his music "helped him stop popping pills." Those snapshots of his daily life are certainly good insights to help us understand the influences that have directed him down the path as a cerebral emcee. Ryshon Jones will be dropping his real-world epiphanies this evening at the TLA opening for Mississippi’s Big K.R.I.T. TLA, 334 South St., $18, All Ages – H.M. Kauffman
