JAY*R (ALSO KNOWN AS “MISTER 10*18â€, “DA KANDYMANâ€) WAS BORN ON FEBRUARY FIRST, NINETEEN NINETY AT TWELVE- TWENTY-ONE AM, IN CHICAGO’S SOUTH SIDE MT. SINAI HOSPITAL. HE WEIGHED IN AT SEVEN POUNDS AND NINE OUNCES, AND ONLY TWENTY INCHES IN LENGTH. JAY’S PARENTS MOVED ON WITH THEIR LIVES SEPARATELY WHEN JAY WAS ONLY A YEAR AND 4 MONTHS. GROWING UP IN A SOUTH SUBURBAN HOME IN A TOWN CALLED CICERO; JAY WAS LIVING WITH HIS MOTHER (SANDRA), HIS UNCLE AND TWO AUNTS, AND HIS GRANDPARENTS. SANDRA WORKED LONG, HARD, AND RESTLESS HOURS SO SHE CAN PROVIDE FOR HER SELF AND JAY. JAY WOULD ALSO HAVE VISITATION RIGHTS TO SEE HIS FATHER (JOHN ANTHONY) ONCE, OR AT TIMES TWICE A MONTH.
HIS FATHER LIVED IN A LOWER CLASS COMMUNITY ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO KNOWN AS LITTLE VILLAGE. JAY HAS ALWAYS BEEN A VERY INTELLIGENT PERSON, CATCHING ON TO THINGS VERY QUICKLY HE TOOK HIS FIRST STEPS AT ONLY EIGHT MONTHS AND LEARNED TO SAY HIS FIRST WORDS AT A YEAR AND A HALF. JAY’S FATHER WAS A VERY ARTISTIC PERSON GROWING UP, BEING INVOLVED WITH HIP-HOP AND GRAFFITI, HE ALSO WAS INVOLVED IN MUSIC. IT WAS A FOGGY MID-AUGUST DAY WHEN JOHN DECIDED TO TAKE YOUNG JAY WITH HIM TO A RECORDING STUDIO ON THE NORTH SIDE OF CHICAGO AT THE AGE OF ONLY FIVE, AS HE RECORDED HIS DEMO. IN THE BOOTH, JOHN WOULD GET NERVOUS AND FORGET HIS LYRICS MANY TIMES HAVING TO RECORD MULTIPLE TAKES. BY THE END OF THE NIGHT, HIS PRODUCER TOLD HIM TO TAKE THE TRACK HOME ONCE AGAIN AND TO PRACTICE IT UNTIL HE COULD SING IT PERFECTLY MEMORIZED, JOHN DID.
HE PRACTICED VERY HARD FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS; HE THEN AGAIN TOOK JAY WITH HIM TO THE STUDIO. IN THE STUDIO JAY WOULD WATCH AS HIS FATHER GIVE THE TRACK HIS ALL, BUT FOR SUM REASON THE TRACK WAS NOT WHAT HE NOR THE PRODUCER THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. ON THE OTHER HAND, WHAT JOHNS PRODUCER REALIZED WAS DAT AS JOHN WOULD SING HIS VERSE IN THE BOOTH; YOUNG JAY WOULD SING ALONG AND WOULD FINISH OFF JOHN’S INCOMPLETE LYRICS PERFECTLY BEHIND THE PRODUCERS DESK. SOON AFTER JOHN HAD GOTTEN OUT OF THE RECORDING BOOTH, JOHNS PRODUCER SECRETLY TOLD HIM WHAT HE HAD DISCOVERED ABOUT YOUNG JAY, AND TOLD HIM TO ENCOURAGE JAY TO SING MORE OFTEN.
AS THE TWO WENT HOME THAT NIGHT, JOHN PUT THE INSTRUMENTAL TRACK OF HIS DEMO IN THE CASSETTE PLAYER OF THE CAR AND ASK JAY IF HE WOULD SING THE SONG FOR HIM, JAY WITH NO HESITATION TOLD HIS FATHER HE WOULD. AS THE BEAT WAS PLAYING, JOHN WAS DRIVING AND YOUNG JAY WAS EAGERLY WAITING FOR THE DROP IN THE BEAT TO ARRIVE AND AS SOON AS IT DID, JAY CAME IN PERFECTLY WITH SUCH A CLEAN AND CLEAR VERSE THAT FOLLOWED BY THE CHORUS THAT TOOK JOHN BY SURPRISE. STARING AT JAY WITH A CONFUSED LOOK ON HIS FACE, JAY STOPPED SINGING AND ASKED HIS FATHER IF THE WAY HE SANG THE VERSE WAS GOOD ENOUGH, JOHN SUDDENLY BEGAN TO GIVE LITTLE CHUCKLES AND REPEATEDLY KEPT SAYING TO HIMSELF UNDER HIS BREATH, “WRONG? HOW COULD U BE WRONG? WHEN YOU SING JUST SO ...RIGHTâ€.
AFTER THAT NIGHT, JOHN TOLD HIS FRIENDS AND RELATIVES THAT JAY WOULD SOON BE “THE BEGINNING OF A NEW CHAPTER IN MUSIC HISTORYâ€. BY THE AGE OF TWELVE, JAY DECIDED TO CREATE A MUSIC LABEL THAT WOULD TAKE HIM TO THE TOP, “OVA THA’ TOP†OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. OVER TIME JAY MET WITH MEMBERS OF HIS LABEL SUCH AS LETHAL, HECTIK, STATIK, AND OTHERS HE KNEW SINCE HIS YOUNGER DAYS SUCH AS FROST THE MONSTA’ WHO IS LOOKED AT BY JAY AS HIS YOUNGER BROTHER, JAY HAD ALSO GREW UP WITH CASANOVA A FORMER MEMBER OF THE LABEL. HIS LABEL O.T.T. (OVA THA’ TOP) RECORDS HAS SWEPT THE MYSPACE COMMUNITY VERY QUICKLY SINCE THE LAST MONTHS OF THE YEAR 2005, AND IS CONTINUED TO BE SPREAD AROUND THE WORLD AS OF TODAY.
