Jay Murda 618
Jay Murda aka The Reason Thurr's Envy: The 25 year old midwest artist from the streets of East St Louis. Only a fraction of the group "Midwest Mademen"(E Peezy,Leesus,Jack Frost,2stax,Un Boon) and we got "30 L.O.W."(Walkscientific,ST-1) Jay's been doing his music seriously since the young age of 13. It started from writing poetry at just 8 years old and that helped him excell in his writing abilities. Along the way he picked up freestyling skills by battling anyone who challenged him and his record speaks for itself...no losses.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started writing poems when I was 8 years old. My moms always made me do it cause I had good writing ability whenever I was bored. Then from there I just turnt it into music and people started really feeling my s**t. I did a lot of freestyling and battling and thats what got my name out in the streets a bit. Now I'm the new terror for the rap game!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yeah, wherever the fans want us. You can find us at Jazz and Blues on wednesday in fairview heights,illinois or downton St. Louis @ Creepy Crawl on Thursdays. Of course I love performing, music's in our hearts.
Your musical influences
2Pac,Big Pun,Nas,Rakim,Slick Rick,Cassidy,AZ,Fat Boys(they didn't give a s**t that they was big,they just did they thing)and a lot of the classic peoples like Billie Holiday and Minnie Irpperton. Last but not least I need to definitely give props to my oldest brother Lil Walk aka Walkscientific and his mans DMC cause they was doing they thing when I was still pissing in the bed,ya feel me...My environment is what makes me though
What equipment do you use?
Whateva we got in the studio. All I need is one mic and one fan and I'm good
