Resonating in the tradition of Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, and Marvin Gaye, <br />Governor Washington, Jr. Known to most as just Governor, his musical style mixes hip hop with Rhythm and Blues to deliver a timeless sound on his (Grand Hustle/Atlantic Recordings) debut Son of Pain. “Governor’s suffering is the listener’s reward, “ says XXL Magazine, “the honesty of his experiences-from his mother taking her life shortly after he was born, to the highs and lows of a true artist in the music industry resonates in every word he sings.” VIBE Magazine calls Son of Pain, “70’s inspired soul fit for both Saturday night and Sunday morning.” <br /><br />Born and raised in Charles City, Virginia, Governor the son of a Minister, who still calls Virginia home says, “I tell the stories of things that have actually happened to me, I write about everyday struggles.” The streetwise southern gentleman who proudly refers to himself, as a “country boy” likes his music being characterized as “Soul Folk” and reveals in his passionate tone that “Folk music is about the story and the message, Soul music is about relaying emotion. http://www.imeem.com/g9records Delta 0 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Governor http://www.imeem.com/g9records/music/yAqyiEp8/ti-feat-governor-aint-fly-as-me/ Sat, 02 Aug 2008 07:22:15 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/g9records/music/yAqyiEp8/ti-feat-governor-aint-fly-as-me/"><img border="0" src="http://resources-p2.imeem.com/resources/versioned/2/graphics/icons/no_album_art_100x100.png" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> uOh88nCCEU Governor http://www.imeem.com/g9records/music/cesxx-yG/ti-feat-governor-hustlin/ Sat, 02 Aug 2008 02:08:28 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/g9records/music/cesxx-yG/ti-feat-governor-hustlin/"><img border="0" src="http://resources-p2.imeem.com/resources/versioned/2/graphics/icons/no_album_art_100x100.png" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> pDxRq7mKcB Governor http://www.imeem.com/g9records/music/txYhct8X/governor-you-got-the-power-governor-ti/ Sat, 02 Aug 2008 02:03:56 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/g9records/music/txYhct8X/governor-you-got-the-power-governor-ti/"><img border="0" src="http://resources-p2.imeem.com/resources/versioned/2/graphics/icons/no_album_art_100x100.png" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> xAK7o0ukgi Governor http://www.imeem.com/g9records/music/134wBBUo/governor-feat-50-cent-tell-me-what-you-want/ Sat, 02 Aug 2008 02:02:42 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/g9records/music/134wBBUo/governor-feat-50-cent-tell-me-what-you-want/"><img border="0" src="http://resources-p2.imeem.com/resources/versioned/2/graphics/icons/no_album_art_100x100.png" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> 9U1V9ok52q Governor http://www.imeem.com/g9records/music/1wn9KB0F/governor-out-of-my-hands/ Sat, 02 Aug 2008 02:01:39 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/g9records/music/1wn9KB0F/governor-out-of-my-hands/"><img border="0" src="http://icons-p2.imeem.com/1wn9KB0F.jpg" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> 1xpoCFKOFy Governor http://www.imeem.com/g9records/music/KGbf1qpQ/ti-hello-feat-governor/ Sat, 02 Aug 2008 01:55:53 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/g9records/music/KGbf1qpQ/ti-hello-feat-governor/"><img border="0" src="http://resources-p2.imeem.com/resources/versioned/2/graphics/icons/no_album_art_100x100.png" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> ItKDHTR2Go Governor http://www.imeem.com/g9records/music/iBeEAYZR/governor-decisions/ Fri, 27 Jun 2008 03:53:05 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/g9records/music/iBeEAYZR/governor-decisions/"><img border="0" src="http://icons-p3.imeem.com/iBeEAYZR.jpg" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> 3dPRBzReT- Governor http://www.imeem.com/g9records/video/eYJZwBVc/blood-sweat-and-tears-music-video/ Wed, 12 Dec 2007 01:23:41 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/g9records/video/eYJZwBVc/blood-sweat-and-tears-music-video/"><img width="100" height="75" border="0" src="http://srv0204-01.sjc3.imeem.com/g/v/a4142705c988c2a6d186ab133ced7797_00010.jpg" title="Click to play this video"/></a></div> Y-_1GgYMDv
