Aspiring and upcoming Detroit rap artist Jay-Cro Jay-Young’n was born in Atlanta, GA but was moved to Detroit during his toddler years. Jay was heavily influenced by music  while growing up around a family that greatly appreciated music. Besides family influences, Jay was also inspired by artists such as MC Hammer, NWA, Tupac, and LL Cool J. These artists not only led him to be the rapper he is today, but they encouraged him to become a great emcee.  Also his U.S.R. family keeps him focused and motivated to continuously grow as an artist.  Jay’s style is a mixture of similes and metaphors. His music is based off of lyricism and everyday life experiences.  Jay’s overall outlook on music is that it should never be made for one specific crowd. “Music is my life and I make music that everyone can feel and relate to. Real hip-hop tells no fake stories so I don’t rap about what I don’t know. I may stretch the truth a little for entertainment purposes but when it comes to my music… what you hear is what you get.” Right now he’s currently showing off his talent on a mixtape called “Potential: Then & Now” which includes previously recorded never released tracks and updated tracks he’s been working on today. “I did the mixtape this way because I wanted to show people how much I’ve grown as an artist with my delivery, flow and production”. The purpose of this mixtape is to promote his name and to prepare for the bigger project/album to drop next year “Self Explanatory:Young’ns In Charge”. So be on the lookout for this upcoming artist Jay-Cro Jay-Young’n.
