This is a much-awaited introduction to international recording artist, actor, author, father, and CEO of ChainGangWest Consulting Jerell Walker Aka JReal Da Realest of Los Angeles California. For more than 20 years, I’ve watched this young lion grow, sometimes in the same household and sometimes, as now, from afar. I promise this intro is not due to nepotism, it’s because I’ve watched a man grow from a spiritually unalive horizontal to an upright…perpendicular, to coin a mystic phrase. Check my record, I’ve interviewed or covered just about everybody, their cat, uncle, AND dog, and short of some of the industry OGs and stalwarts, oftentimes the stories sound rehearsed or unfinished with key connectors lost in the telling…you know, the math doesn’t necessarily math…ijs. I’m validating this one personally but the time had to be right and the moves solidified…here we go!
