J.Y.
J.Y. is a 20 year old artist out of New Jersey! Getting the name Jynx from a girl in grade school after getting caught kissing on the playground, this Jersey rapper recently shortened his name to J.Y. Realizing there were many artists who go by the name of Jynx or Jinx he had to switch it up!His musical influences began with his parents. While growing up his mother instilled in him music from the New Jack (swing) Era. His father had been doing work with people like Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth of Mount Vernon, New York. He has said that his mothers influence has lead him to love R&B very much and if he could sing, he would probably be layin' down R&B tracks rather than spitting out heat!
J.Y. brings more to the table then most artists his age. He tells stories of his brother and friends being locked up, teen pregnancy, providing for his family and the more emotional topic of the suicidal death of his father with his track "A Song for Todd."
He has been writing music since he was 7 years old and released his first mixtape in Spring 2008, "It's Daddy" Hosted by DJ Radio and Superstar Jay. He is currently working on his next mixtape, The Hiring Process, which has features from Max B and Cory Gunz. He is also working with Producers Nard-N-B, Rockwilder and Buckwild to name a few and artists like Joe Budden and Cory Gunz on his debut album that is set to be released later this year.
He currently has a song being featured on allhiphop.com:
