Demetrie Jones has always had a knack for spitting raw, no-holds-barred verses that cut deep, and “Personafied” proves he’s still in top form. Alongside AFTA, the track packs a punch from the first beat, blending aggressive bars with an intense energy that grabs you by the collar. The chorus, which takes a slight turn into melody, gives a brief breath of air before Jones dives back into his world of blunt reality and sharp lyricism. This collaboration strikes the perfect balance between ferocity and soul, with the kind of unapologetic flair that’s become synonymous with Demetrie’s work.

Known for his unflinching approach to life’s harsh truths, Demetrie Jones, formerly Urban The Element, doesn’t shy away from the hard topics—mental health, self-doubt, and the struggles of being an artist in a chaotic world. Raised in Tracy, CA, and rooted in Oakland, his sound is one that speaks from personal experience. As a battle rap vet, he’s earned his place in the West Coast scene, crushing opponents in leagues like Power and Respect, King of the Dot, and AHAT. As a key member of the WaveMakers Collective and half of Odd Members of Society, Demetrie’s sound is one of conscious realism mixed with uncompromising lyricism. “Personafied” is another testament to his ever-evolving legacy in hip-hop.
