Crimelab Music Group
After many years in the Music/ Entertainment industry as a Producer Norris “Roblow” Jones has set goals to change Crime lab Production into an Entertainment force. He surrounded himself with a new team of people and started the new label CRIMELAB MUSIC GROUP. Some might marvel over why he continues to use the name Crimelab. Well let me try to sum it up in a few words. Roblow has always been around good music and nice producers, some big today and some are not, but never the less it was hard work being put in. He has been a student of the business for a long time. Rob saw himself getting messed around by the industry and not being paid for work that he has done. He also saw Labels and acts releasing music that made money but sounded terrible, so he set his goals to always put out good music and do good business. So as the Crime Lab (CSI) would investigate crime scene for the police department to reveal the truth. So would Crimelab Music Group investigate the Industry in hopes to reveal the truth in Music & Business?

Roblow started his own Record at the age of 18 with one of his best-friends /Cousin Billy “Tiny Madd” Johnson From 52 Hoover Crip A Los Angeles Street gang. called “Down & Dirty” From the CPT. He produced and Dj’d. For the group. Down & Dirty was offered a deal from Easy E and Ruthless Records, Roblow 19. At that time felt he knew a little more than he actually did at the time and turned down the deal with Ruthless, but remained good friends with Easy. Only three months later Down & Dirty was approached By another Hip Hop Icon” ICE T” and ask to join Rhyme Syndicate. Even though neither a record nor a deal was ever produced Roblow still reps the Syndicate. He credits Easy & Ice T with the business savvy that he has. One Year later Two Girls show up at Rob’s house asking for him. Rob had never met these girls before. The story was kind of funny. They asked are you Rob and Rob’s girls friend at the time said who are you and where do you know my man from. They replied my name is BOSS & DEE from Detroit and we are Rappers. We heard that you could help us get a deal. So we flew down here from Detroit to meet you. So Rob remembers taking them to Black hole recording Studios that night and coming up with a gimmick and a sound that he created which was later released to the World as the group “BOSS” on Def Jam Records. That was the first time Roblow really realized that he could produce something from nothing if they had raw talent. Crimelab has work with many Successful acts like Boss, 2pac, WC, Thuglife, Mark Morrison, The Luniz, Marcus Houston, SuperVision, Ras Kas,JayO Felony,  Onyx, and Coolio to name a few. He has also dabbled in music for films. The Year is 2011 Crimelab has a roster of a few very nice acts JHITM, TOY, JACKPOT, DARK FLAME, 20MIL, Yung Cash, BIRDFACE, and Da Mutantz
