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!
