San Diego emcee, Real J. Wallace refuses to be one of the silent “good people.” Armed with a purpose and a pen, Wallace is a modern day philosophical prophet. A writer of every day experiences, Wallace’s latest project “The J∆hFather of So(u)l Cal” was inspired by his excursions on the Martin Luther King Jr. Freeway (94 West) in San Diego, California. Each track was formed by his state of mind during his numerous drives to and from downtown. Wallace combined his love for the blues and the soul of hip hop to create an assortment of tunes distinctively his own...
Wallace showcases his vulnerabilities on this first project and hopes to expand on his ideas to include a documentary that sheds light on the surge of gang violence in South East San Diego, a tragedy which resulted in 30 people being shot over the span of one month during the summer of 2011. Moreover, it will examine the apparent disconnect between Martin Luther King Jr.’s message and the evident acts of violence found on Martin Luther King Jr. streets.
