First of all I would like to send and extend the warmest of
condolences to all the friends, fans and family of Brandon (Jugg Money)
Willingham during this time of bereavement. I felt within my soul to make this
small contribution in his honor just to let others know how he impacted me from
afar though I never got around to meeting the young brother. As the chief
editor & writer of this website/blog and coming from the same streets of
the A.N.D. early in my music/Dj Career in the 90’s I can identify empathize
with how hard it is to get people from
your very own city, in which you rep to get behind you and support your music.
I don’t condone all the messages put out in this new generation of rap artist
but I overstand that art is a reflection of life from an individual’s own
personal perspective and vice versa. Basically our young artist are the CNN’s
of every neighborhood from every city, state and trap spots reporting what they
encounter on a routine or daily basis through their art (music). To all my
readers with open minds please remember that one fact, to avoid making the
mistake of sanctimoniously judging our young folks merely based on their
appearance and the views they espouse on records, music videos and so forth.
They are only reporting what they see be it on the streets,in movies, video
games, MTV, BET award shows portrayed to them as urban culture etc.

Jugg Money
and Prince Keels were building a huge buzz and a brand around the A.N.D. which
from my own personal experience in the A.N.D. music grind is very difficult to
do. The promoter/manager from Clemson & the players from Hi-way 24 had
concocted a formula that was clearly working effectively forcing the whole city
to take notice. Knowing how hard it can be too do this successfully they both
should be saluted on that achievement by itself. I salute you Prince Keels
& Jugg Money!! Everywhere I went around the city I would hear the name "Jugg
Money performing live somewhere" as a matter of fact this is how I met MS.RKAYB
after watching the “Teach you how to Jugg” video. In her article which is still
posted on this site I commented about Jugg Money being an up & coming new
artist. His relentless nonstop commitment to pushing his music from the A.N.D.
to the ATL is to be admired and exemplified his dedication to fulfilling his
dream in hopes to one day take care of his mother and family. His cousin Carlos
Willingham which whom I work with would always keep me updated saying “Tuc come
check out this video of Jugg performing live” here and there. Jugg’s hard work
& drive at the tender age of twenty yrs. old is to be commended and makes
it oh so even more tragic for him to have been taken so soon from us. He had an
incredible amount of potential which he showcased at such an early age to make
his dream a reality. I’ve met entrepreneurs much older that didn’t have the
fortitude Jugg had & it’s a very necessary attribute required to be successful
in the entertainment business period.

I met Prince Keels and King Earl sometime
last summer when they were doing promotion work for Break Time Sports Bar &
Grill. They were both down to earth laid back & said they had heard of me
and I replied in-kind, so shouts out to them for their tireless promo work of
various artist such as bringing us Jugg Money and others. This is just a small
contribution from me to help celebrate the life and impact Jugg had made on me
and the rest of the city. He will not be forgotten & his video will remain
in my top all city videos page of this site. R.I.P. To Brandon “Jugg Money”
Willingham for you have cemented your name in the A.N.D.’s Hip Hop and Rap
Music legacy of this city. They call me the A.N.D.

ReplyDeleteThis is a great write up in my opinion. I am very saddened by the loss of lil Brandon aka "Jugg Money" Being from the Up State makes this even harder to deal with. So much of our talents have been lost to the streets. It's totally unnecessary. We have more technology today, more degrees and access to education than our for fathers did 100 years ago, yet we have not advanced. We have actually went backwards. At least a hundred yrs ago, they were killing us now it's us against us. SMH We need right knowledge, right education and for parents to start being responsible adults who discipline their children and install in them that a life is priceless and that love covers all. R.I.P. Jugg Money ...can hardly believe lil Brandon is gone
ReplyDeleteBiG Willie aka Will Smith good looking out Bro in the comments section,Thanks for dropping some knowledge on our readers & I will always help you keep the platinumbpm.com (your baby) brand alive.
