Cargando...Rising from the shores of Long Branch, New Jersey, Jay (born Jasun
Ramirez) is a multifaceted artist whose music embodies the complex
duality of his coastal hometown. Since his 2018 debut, Jay has carved
out a distinctivesonic identity that masterfully balances light and
shadow, much like the beach town that shaped him – a place where
sun-soaked horizons meet the stark realities of urban life. As both a
rapper and producer, Jay crafts a unique soundscape that defies easy
categorization. His music is a carefully woven tapestry of lo-fi textures
and raw emotion, where assertive rap verses collide with melodic
introspection. In 2019, Jay’s artistic trajectory reached a significant
milestone with his single «Sleepyhead,» which secured a distribution
deal with respected label Broderskab. His work has garnered attention
from notable music publications including Happy Mag, 24rap,
anrfactory, and thewordisbond, establishing him as an artist to watch in
the contemporary hip-hop landscape. Drawing from influences like
Isaiah Rashad, Schoolboy Q, and Jpegmafia, Jay has developed a
sound that honors his inspirations while pushing boundaries.
Now, Jay presents the alternative hip-hop single «Blackboy,» set to
release on October 10th, 2025 to begin the rollout of his upcoming
album, I Hope You Heal. «Blackboy» seamlessly blends pop, singer-
songwriter, and hip hop influences to present a hypnotic chorus and
touching lyrics. Stay tuned!
