The song 'Where They At' by EssJay TheAfrocentricRatchet is a bold, raw, and unapologetic celebration of personal freedom and the rejection of romantic restraints. It narrates the journey of the artist from a momentarily emotional entanglement to reclaiming her independent and empowered self. The lyrics capture her strong, sassy attitude, revealing a narrative of a woman who refuses to be defined by a relationship or a man, instead favoring a lifestyle of 'pimpin'. She's not naive, she's assured, and she's back in control. It's a story of self-awareness, resilience, and an unabashed embrace of her own desires and needs.

Minneapolis Transplant, EssJay TheAfrocentricRatchet, is bum-rushing the hip hop scene, one lyrical haymaker at a time. An indepent femme rapper, EssJay’s style displays the gritty and ecclectic upbringing experienced growing up in the rough and culture rich streets of Chicago. Their aggresive bars, unapologetic braggadocio, and  true passion for the genre  has turned EssJay’s shortcomings into her greatest assets. Diagnosed Bi-Polar in the fall of 2017, EssJay has since used  music and her growing platform as a therapeutic resource and tool to speak on mental health, normalizing big body confidence,  overcoming generational trauma and more.
