On Tuesday, December 11, Rapsody, Heather Victoria, and 9th Wonder did a live performance of “The Drums” on BET’s “106 & Park.” The hosts asked Rapsody about 9thWonder signing her to the Jamla label. She ended her response with, “The rest is the future.”
The rest is DEFINITELY the future! So many wonderful things can happen from what may seem to be a single, small moment in time. The Jamla Army hit Twitter on Friday promoting the hashtag, #TheRestIsTheFuture, to highlight memorable moments of learning about the Jamla label, meeting the Jamla artists, attending Jamla shows, etc. Here are some of the responses from Jamla artists, Jamla Army members, and other Jamla supporters:
