It's been almost a year since the world discovered the true meaning of #iwokeuplikethis, courtesy of Beyoncé's female-power anthem "Flawless," and musical peers had no choice but to back down and let the queen reign—until now, that is. Ahead of his debut album listening party tonight, genre-defying rapper Jay Boogie gives OC a no-holds-barred male anthem with the world premiere of his new track "Body."
The Brooklyn native borrows from voguing culture as well as his Hispanic roots to produce a sound that is "revolutionary," he says, "something like a cry for equality but not really giving a fuck if justice is served or not."
With his new jam "Body," off of his upcoming debut album Allure, Jay dares you to take him as he is. In the Flex Lang-produced track, the enveloping sounds leave the viewer in a stunned trance in which they experience a full blast of Jay's confrontational lyrics and delivery. With lines like "Spilled your latte, I'm too spicy" and "If you love me // can I get a back rub with a fat dub and a pay stub and a coup on the GrubHub," the rapper's confidence is infectious. Throughout the track, he gruffly purrs, "Get into my body," but little does he know the listener was already convinced they wanted to at the 30-second mark.
Listen to the world premiere of "Body" below.
