Christian Rapper JayMay brings the Heat with Winter Classics

653

It’s been two years since the Christian rap community has heard from JayMay. Those who follow this gospel rapper, know that prior to this new release, his last project was a feature on the Holy Hip Hop Volume 5 and the praise worthy album release “We Live Praise”. JayMay is “switching lanes’ as he returns from a two year hiatus heating up the speakers with “The Winter Classics EP”.

JayMayis not a member of Gospel Elevations yet, and maybe one day he will. To hear and see how God is using other Christian Rappers around the world visit the free exposure site for Gospel Rappers, Holy Hip Hop Rappers, or Christian Rappers visit http://www.gospelelevations.net.

The Winter Classics is a six song recording that captivates energy and passion that demand the attention of listeners. With a variety of topics that include dealing with talkative people on “Switch Lanes” to maintaining values and morals on “Family Guy” the diversity compels you to stay engaged as the songs flow with consistency.

For you D-Maub supporters, then you wanna cop this project. JayMay gets assistance from One Route Entertainment’s lyricist D-Maub on “P.U.S.H. (Pray Until Something Happen)”, along with Detroit’s on Snapp, they make this collaboration a multiplex treat for listening ears.

This EP will help reintroduce JayMay to the bulging Christian Rap community and give a preview to his upcoming 3rd studio album “For His Glory” currently scheduled for fall debut. JayMay’s background plays a vital role in the creation of his music. He was born and raised on Detroit’s Westside graduating from Henry Ford High School. He joined the Army in 1994 and has been stationed in five different locations including a deployment to Iraq.

Music is just a small portion of his life; he is still serving in U.S. Army currently stationed in Michigan as a recruiter, and he serves in his local church and the community. He aims to not only reach those around him with the Gospel but also teach them. JayMay is a graduate of Colorado Christian University and has earned certification in Biblical Studies.

He has shared the stage with some of music’s well known artist such as Canton Jones, tobyMac, Da T.R.U.T.H., Jeremy Camp, Lecrae, KJ-52, Tripp Lee, Tedashii, K-Drama, Kurtis Blow, BB-Jay, S.O.C.O.M., Da Clay and many more. He’s ministered and performed at numerous events across the globe from the United States, Italy, Germany and Iraq. For booking and more information visit www.jaymayonline.com The EP will be available at doubleswordrecords.com, jaymayonline.com, iTunes, Rhapsody and all other online locations.

At Gospel Elevations we believe that everyone who ministers through gospel rap should be given a chance to share what God is doing through them. We offer free exposure to artist from around the world. If you know of any events in your area we Christian rappers are ministering please let us know.

We Live Praise: Album Review by Cross Rhythms

200

We Live Praise

Reviewed by Robin Thompson

This is the debut album from a Colorado Springs-based rap artist and quite a fine debut it is too. 18 original songs (is that a record for a non-compilation?) fill this CD and echo JayMay’s mission statement – “To bring holy hip-hop to the Church and to the streets, putting God’s word over beats.” And he certainly does that, exploring oft-sung themes but with an approach that is quite fresh and invigorating. There are no great strides in theology here, but a real sense that God is as fresh and as new as ever. My favourite song is “Praise Him Mo’” which has one of those hooks that attaches itself to the inside of your head like a limpet and won’t let go. The emphasis is very much on the words, rather than the beats, which means that this isn’t one of those boom-boom hip-hop albums – so if you’re looking for thumping bass you’re looking in the wrong direction. You’re more likely to end up in a web of words because this album tends to nag at you – but in a good way! An impressive debut.
