Bringing the lyricism of Black Eyed Peas to a level of grit I wasn’t ready for, I’ve been wanting to ring Dial-An-Opp after listening to this one.
Crime City
Bringing the sounds of the streets again, Crime City is another album full of a blend of samples, big beats and heavy bass. Seven tracks of heat, these ones I’ve been cooking up like Gordon Ramsey on a hot stove and is the follow-up to Trappist. Mainly a mixture of grime and trap tunes, there’s a more relaxed vibe to some of these – while still maintaining a grimy darkness and grittiness.
Using a wide blend of real instruments mixed with synths and big bass combines with the samples this one’s been making my head bop differently in the 1ft studio. As dark as a power cut in the countryside and as heavy as 9 foot of lead, these tunes are ready to have some fire verses buttered over them hot and fresh.
Who is Jay-El?
I’m a homegrown UK producer making mainly grime, trap, dubstep and drum and bass beats. Hobbiest and self-taught, I thought it was time to start releasing some of the bits straight from the 1 square foot studio I make all my music in. I make music because I like music, not as a job and I sample everything from old to new to help spread those people too. Big up the sunflower gang.
All production, mastering, videos and art done by me.
