Biography

There was an era of hip-hop that died with suicide, violence and addiction. The soundtracks were vulnerable, the instrumentals were gruff, lyrics explicit and vocal arrangements were hypnotizing. Soundcloud rappers like Capital STEEZ, Lil Peep, XXXtentacion and Juice Wrld - the forefathers of emo-rap - used their creative talents to express and highlight their mental health. Unfortunately for us, they were taken as quickly as they rose to fame. Their absence left behind a world of what-ifs, also leaving a new generation of creators with no role models. Jay Illicit is a recording artist who connects with his fans through emotionally vulnerable lyrics, thought-provoking views on life, moody chord progressions and a stage presence that easily becomes the talk of the town. By blending the diverse styles of emo-rap, hip-hop, punk, rock, and R&B together, the singer and songwriter creates a mixed atmosphere of rebellious melancholy. His intimate records, and uncanny social media presence welcomes an outcast, like yourself, to be a part of a community where you finally know you belong. His revolution is for you, the people craving music reminiscent of something real, organic and that makes you want to feel again. Through his animated performance, active crowd control, and masterful discography, he’s making noise in the underground hip-hop scene. Jay Illicit fearlessly steps up to the challenge of resurrecting a greatly missed movement.
