Jay Payd Should Be Good Money In Your Books

When it comes to West Coast Hip-Hop, a few legendary names should come to mind…Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Tupac, Kendrick Lamar, The Game…the list is very long, by the way! Well these days, just because an artist is born and raised in California, doesn’t mean that their sound will reflect the coast that they originated from. To be honest, that is the beauty of today’s era. An artist can be from New York City and be so influenced by southern Hip-Hop, that their music would make you think they are from the south. We could provide many examples of this interesting phenomenon, but this article would be very long :).

With that said, Jay Payd is a Hip Hop artist from ‘The Bay’ area, California who relocated to Los Angeles, California to chase his music aspirations. From the moment you press play on his music you can hear the hunger and determination in his raps. Musically speaking, the instrumentals that he typically raps over will give you a more traditional West Coast vibe that makes it easy for listeners to identify where he’s from. So expect a lot of bouncy drums, recognizable high hats and horns that give songs a sense of urgency. But don’t expect every song to sound the same, because Jay does a good job at diversifying his catalog and discography that does not make his music predictable.

As a prime example to illustrate the essence of his artistry, on one of his latest releases called ‘20,000 Dollars All 20s’, Jay Payd brags about making money “hand over fist”, driving fancy foreign whips and bagging bad b**ches. The song features Yung LB and Desto Dubb. Check out this banger on streaming platforms!

Ultimately, Jay Payd seems to be an artist that takes his craft very seriously and brings a refreshing sound to the game that people should take heed to. At this rate, you should be hearing his name very soon on a radio station or a Digital Streaming Platform (DSP) playlist near you!
