A brilliant new talent armed with brash, determined lyrics about his life experiences and ambitions, Louisiana-based rapper OBN Jay is a growing titan. After receiving attention for his late-2010s singles such as ‘Big Ole’ and ‘Chess Not Checkers’, as well as collaborations with rappers like Quando Rondo and JayDaYoungan, OBN Jay has become the name on everybody’s lips.
Growing up in Baton Rouge, where he witnessed crime and violence throughout his youth, OBN Jay began rapping at a young age, uploading his music online when he was in high school. In 2018, he took the bold step of releasing tracks like ‘Stop Playing’, ‘How That Go’, and ‘Big Ole’, along with his breakthrough EP’s ‘Lost Hope’ and ‘OBN’, and the massive mixtape ‘Logic Real Talk’.
Since then, OBN Jay has become an artist to watch on both BET and REVOLT, with his raw sound capturing a side of modern hip-hop that is steeped in realism. In the past, REVOLT stated that Baton Rouge has been a breeding ground of young, fresh talent and said that OBN Jay is the latest from the city to drop some heat.
On ‘Whop (Party All Day)’, OBN Jay continues to impress, building on his dynamic rap sound with a sharp, expressive sound that is utterly undeniable. Available now on all major platforms, it’s a single that perfectly illustrates OBN Jay’s talents, lashing out with a raw ‘street rap’ style that will have you entranced, energised, and absolutely enraptured.
