Although gaining mainstream recognition for his beat-track producing abilities, Scram is known as a hip-hop triple threat (Beats/Tables/MC). The 2004 release of the "Loose Cannons" mixtape featuring many well-known hip-hop artists as well as a number of underground rappers also saw a number of Scram's own rap tracks. The gritty street style coupled with the one-liner delivery of rhymes makes Jones' style a unique and interesting addition to a market many critics see as being clogged with carbon-copy artists.
