Jay Prime
Whats good? Prime shouldnt have to be explained but I will attempt that for you. Not to be categorized or have any mold set in stone but you could consider me a Conscious/Poetic emcee, but recognize I still have the ability to spit flames. I mess with alot of different emcees that I know & they all tell me my sounds are always different, so take that & run with it.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started rapping, writing songs in the 6th grade & you could say it all arose from there. To being in places that didnt suit me to being around people that I need to make good music, times will change along with people & places.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
No, besides kicking cyphers all the time I dont do shows. Not that I'm crunk, cause I'm not but around Ft. Worth I should have some shows for sure within the next 6 months but come see cause you will appreciate the atmosphere/energy thats brought to the table cause I dont use a hype man!
Your musical influences
I have too many, I mean too any cause even though I do not bite lyrics whatsoever when I'm not freestyling well the songs lyrics that I was just banging to will come to mind and you cant help to spit them but thats because first of all I'm a lover of music, regardless of making it.
But mainly I try to find inspiration from Nas, Rakim, Talib Kweli, Common Sense, Black thought, Mos def, Bob marley, Royce & Jay-z.
