Governor

about

Governor is the name of more than one artist: 1) hip-hop 2) post-punk 1) Governor started in Charles City, Virginia, when he graduated from high school. Governor, who plays the saxophone, trumpet and percussion, was accepted into the much-coveted Berklee College of Music, but he opted to form an R and B outfit a la Jodeci, named Case Closed. The group headed to New York City. Unsurprisingly, the group disbanded, and Governor went back to Virginia. Governor returned to the Big Apple where he to nine-to-fiving and hustling. He eventually caught a break with indie cornerstone, Warlock Records, who via a production deal eventually released his debut, "Another State of Mind" (2000). In 2002, Governor eventually landed himself in the company of the Trackmasters. By this time, Governor had altered his groove from the orthodox R and B delivery employed on his Warlock release, tapped into his hip-hop influences and came up with his current style. Governor recorded an amount of songs with the Trackmasters, most notably, the intoxicating "My Life," featuring 50 Cent-who was at the time also signed to the Trackmasters. In fact, Governor and 50 recorded about six songs together for a prospective album they tentatively named "Best of Both Worlds." Not long after Governor and the Trackmasters decided to go their separate ways, he was introduced to his business partner "Haitian" Jacques Agnant and his cousin, producer Wyclef Jean. The two hit it off right away. Governor appeared
