WBA Heavyweight
Boxing champ Roy Jones Jr. is finishing up recording his second album, Round
Two, I’m Ready.
The album will
be released on Jones’ own Pensacola, Florida based Body Head Entertainment and
will feature appearances from Pastor Troy and Lil Jon as well as production
from platinum producer LT Hutton.
"I want to
develop talent right here in Pensacola," Jones said. "Our goal is
to build Body Head [to compete] among the elite, independent record labels."
Jones recently
returned from a four day visit to Nairobi, Kenya, promoting HIV/AIDS awareness
and education.
The trip was sponsored
by Africans Unite Against AIDS Globally. Jones met with Kenyan President Mwai
Kibaki and visited local hospitals, public schools, slums and boxing facilities.
Jones also served
food to hungry citizens and treated enthusiastic fans to a live performance
and showcase featuring artists from the Body Head label.
Going to Africa
was one of the most incredible experiences in my life," Jones continued.
"Not only was I able to give help and hope to people who are really in
need. But I was able to experience Africa. Going there, for me, was the start
of a new beginning, it was like a new book in my life."
Jones next scheduled
bout in the ring will be November 8, against Antonio Tarver.
