The
rap artist from Albuquerque, New Mexico known as Jay Tay has released
his new breakout single, titled, 'Like E.T.,' on the Ambitious
Ink Entertainment music label. The track is a modern urban anthem of
titanic proportions that showcases Tay in his contemporary glory, the
present culmination of more than ten years developing his singularly
expressive sound, style and mode of hip hop. It is a song of
tribulation and triumph, of conquering in the face of adversity, and
of standing up to whatever might get in the way of one's attainment.
Jay Tay's music bumps, thumps and
slams. Its overall sound is reminiscent of the rap legends of the
nineties, particularly the work of street poets and preeminent
lyricists Tupac Shakur, Scarface, and KRS-1. Like these great
artists, Tay spends most of his creative time penning remarkable
lines and rhymes that bespeak his clever mind and attention to
messages, content and themes. His delivery is fluid and surgically
precise. His sonic character is impressive and masculine without
using cheesy machismo, none of the usual, run-of-the-mill old
arrogance which has been boring rap fans for the last twenty years.
Tay's rap is direct, arresting, violent in tone and peaceful in
effect, and blindingly intelligent.
These standout attributes come from his
two decades of writing and performing rap.
“All
my life I was involved with music,” writes Tay. “It’s always
been my passion. It’s what I love to do.”
In
addition to 'Pac, Scarface, and KRS-1, he also names as important
musical influences the likes of Eminem, DMX, Slaughterhouse, Jay-Z,
Nas, Fabolous, E-40, Rakim, Ludacris, and T.I. Elements of many of
these artists can be found in this one single from Jay Tay, who
learns from the greats.
When
asked about the meaning “Like E.T.” might have in store for fans
and newcomers alike, Tay replies, “[The song is about being] very
ambitious. It's for the go-gettas in life. It's for anyone trying to
conquer their goals.”
“Like
E.T.” by Jay Tay is available online worldwide beginning spring
2013.
