Jay Black
Dayton, Ohio/ 480 Arizona's Jay Black is a purveyor of paradigm changing hip-hop. Recognizing that rhythms and music stretch all the way back to the roots of humanity's existence, Black acknowledges its profound and sublime power. His music is living evidence both of music's strength and Black's intimate understanding of music at large and the hip-hop genre specifically. His music blasts with hearty beats, lyrical amazements, stunning word play, delectable vocal delivery, master mixing – all the elements that make great hip-hop are here and presented with freshness and panache that reveals the true talent behind Jay Black's music.Primal and SmartBlack realizes that music must function on multiple levels. It is both a thing visceral and intelligent and to be full bodied and fully impacting it must appeal on both of these levels. “Music is the base of life, music is a lifestyle that will never get old or go out of style. It is a way for people to express their feelings in a way where people will listen to you more.†To use music as its peak efficiency for communication, the musician must approach both sides of the coin. Black does so. His able hip-hop offerings both grab you by the gut and engage your mind – and that's why he's bound for success.
Pushed DownThose who would try to hinder him only make him that much more determined. Black sees obstacles as challenges and only make him work that much harder. “I get inspired by people who say I am not capable of being successful in life.†Of course, things closer to home also serve as inspiration for Black's conceptually far-reaching music. “My family inspires me because they deserve everything good.†From the comforts of home to the challenges presented by an uncaring world, Black finds the fuel for his amazing hip-hop feats.Breaking Stereotypes
Black is also out to destroy the traditional stereotypes associated with hip-hop culture. “I am 18 years old, I have never been shot, sold drugs, or been to jail. I want people to realize that you don't have to bust guns or sell drugs or do anything bad at all to be a rapper, just be true to yourself and that is what the fans like, real and honest people.†Black's frankness and honesty are another prime factor in the artistic accomplishment that each of his songs represents. Black doesn't posture or try to be something he's not. He shoots from the hip and his hip-hop is all the richer for it. Writing and recording never stop. Black is laboring over his next mix tape, “That Was Then, This Is Nowâ€, aiming to dish out some more hip-hop talent on the public. He is currently working with A&R Select, the leading A&R firm in Hollywood, CA. “Anything I do, I do it for a reason. Anything I write or any song I make, is also for a reason.â€â€œBlack's highly capable hip-hop skills are truly something over which to rejoice.†- A&R Select
