**Calvin "Trouble" Jones** (also known as **Trublife**, **DJ Trouble Lee**, **Double Trouble**, and **Trouble Lee**) is an American record producer, recording, mixing, and mastering engineer, songwriter, DJ, and record executive from Brooklyn, New York. Active in the music industry since the late 1980s, his career spans more than three decades across hip-hop, R&B, soul, jazz, and independent music.

Jones first gained exposure during hip-hop's golden era through appearances in several influential music videos, including MC Lyte's *Paper Thin* and King Sun's *Be Black*. He also appeared on the pioneering hip-hop television program *Pump It Up* alongside ED.O.G. & Da Bulldogs. He later appeared in Diamond D's *Deflate Cha* (2012) and Case's *Until This Day* (2020), produced by Salaam Remi. Throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, Jones became a familiar figure within New York City's hip-hop community while working behind the scenes with emerging artists and producers.

Jones began his career in New York's underground hip-hop and acid-jazz scene as a member of **The Holland Tunnel Project**, a collective that blended jazz, funk, soul, and hip-hop influences. During the 1990s, he co-produced the track **"Blast of Da Iron"** with Grammy Award-winning producer Salaam Remi for the *Clockers* soundtrack, establishing an early creative partnership with Remi.

He later founded **Trub-Life Entertainment**, an independent hip-hop label that released some of the earliest recordings by Brooklyn rapper Ruste Juxx, including *Came This Far / Raw Hip Hop* and *Short'ee*. Through the label, Jones developed and produced independent hip-hop artists while continuing to build his reputation as a producer and audio engineer.

Over the course of his career, Jones has worked as a recording, mixing, and mastering engineer on projects ranging from underground hip-hop releases to major-label recordings. His mastering credits include Diamond D's *The Rear View* and *The Diam Piece 3: DUO*. His engineering credits also include work with Black Thought, Salaam Remi, Nas, The East Flatbush Project, and numerous independent hip-hop, R&B, soul, and jazz artists.

As a recording artist, Jones performs and produces under the names **Calvin Trouble Jones** and **Trouble Lee**, creating music that blends classic soul, funk, hip-hop, jazz, and contemporary R&B influences.

Jones is the founder of **16F Music**, an independent record label focused on new releases, archival recordings, and analog-inspired productions. He has also been associated with the independent labels **16F**, **Trub-Life Entertainment**, and **Liquid Records**.
