On Saturday morning, October 17, 2009, Juan "Enock" James was pronounced dead.  While at his job in Houston, TX,
he collapsed from what is most likely a severe heart attack.  The
autopsy results are not in yet to confirm the final cause of death. 
This was an unexpected occurence and a complete shock to his family,
friends and fans.  All that is known of his condition is that he had hypertension and was on medication to stabilize his blood pressure, but nothing indicated he would suffer a heart attack.

Born on July 12, 1974 in Philadelphia, PA, Enock lived his life for the Lord until his death.  Juan James was one of the founding members of The Cross Movement and is heard on Heaven's Mentality, House of Representatives and Human Emergency. 

In 2001, he relocated to Houston, TX to work on his solo album,
"AWEthentic," with Much Luvv Records.  Earlier this year, Enock along
with former label mate Cruz Cordero, made a guest appearance on the
song "Da Body" from The Tonic's The Dash album.  In Houston, he
continued working underground with local rap ministries such as PHF
Productions, AZA, CRS and Bless'T.

In Texas, he is survived by his wife Natalie James who gave birth to Jana James in 2005.  In Pennsylvania, he is survived by Genesis James (9yrs), Juan James Jr. (11yrs.), and Chavonna James (17yrs).

If you would like to help, prayer and financial support is needed.  Much Luvv Records and DaSouth.com will be organizing a benefit concert
for the James family, details will be announced soon.  For those who
purchase Enock's "AWEthentic" album in 2010, Much Luvv Records and The
Bus Shop will donate 100% of all digital downloads & CD sales to
his wife.

For monetary gifts, make all financial contributions payable to Natalie James at the address below:
Much Luvv Records
c/o The James Family
7640 Lone Meadow Ct.
Houston, TX 77095


Juan
James will be deeply missed and we will forever remember him for his
great music and ministry.  A full story on the life of Enock will be
provided soon by Sketch the Journalist
who was a personal friend of our beloved brother.  Once funeral and
burial service times are made available, we will provide all the
details here at DaSouth.com.

In 3 years, U-ZONE Magazine has emerged as the only trade mag offering readers inside access to emerging industry trends, legal tips, and in-depth industry knowledge from highly sought after gospel music execs such as Max Siegel, Lee Jerkins, Phyllis Caddell, Tia Smith and many more. In addition to increasing the editorial and advertising staffs with new writers, columnists, and sales people, the restructuring will also focus on recruiting regional correspondents to report on local trends and events. "For the past 3 years U-ZONE has successfully informed and inspired readers to improve their own music ministry by giving them an inside look at artists and industry execs who are making it work," said Jermany. "We feel that by adding a focus on regional trends to this mix it will facilitate the spread of hot local acts and events to a total platform." U-ZONE magazine is now seeking talented and dedicated staff for the following positions: -Writers for features, interviews, and music reviews -Columnists in tune with the technical aspects of the music industry, such as producer tools and gadgets -Regional correspondents to report on local trends and events -Commissioned based sales staff for ad sales and marketing packages -S.F. & Houston Area Based interns for all areas of magazine production and distribution -Street Team Reps in Houston TX & San Francisco Bay Areas The first issue after the restructuring will be released in January 2010 in time for both the Stellar Awards and the Holy Hip Hop Awards.
