Poetic justice in the form of my first solo project and a bucket list item conquered. 

3. In My City

5. Three Headed Monster ft. Reddrum & LeeRic

Welcome to "For the Ride Home" the first full length project by Jay-R. The project contains lessons and memories of the good and bad variety. With heavy concentration of 2009 to current time come along on this nostalgia drive based on real life events and people from Jay-R's life. Jay is quoted as  saying "Some love lost, all love found" in referencing this project.

Intro {Hop In}

Dedicated to the memory of David Reed. I love you P! Forever Pharoah!

Forever Pharoah

Inspired by my Pops favorite Frank Sinatra song "Strangers in the night". He'd sing this song over and over until I found myself doing a variation of it on this instrumental. Amazing what nostalgia and lovely ladies can produce!

S.I.N. {Strangers In Night}

2009 was a great time! So many people, parties, so much life we lived. Every day cliqued up and doing what we do. Shout out to all those back then whether by my side these days or not you helped me become who i am. You might just hear a shout out or 2 in this one.

Let It Breathe

The story of would've, could've, should've been. 2 stargazed lovers stuck in different galaxy's that cross paths every so often but never merge even though they would create a perfect orbit.

Ghosting

Stoner

Not every day at work is good. Here's a toast to the bad days when that "I've had enough feeling" hits.

Blue Collar Blues

The year was 2005 and my Pops owned a 2006 Z06 corvette. I learned to drive in that car; I also learned the direction where some of life's choices would lead me if this road continued. For the most part, all good memories in being young and dumb and thinking with the wrong head.

Day Dreaming

Real Talk

Dedicated to my sister Cara Fortes. I love you!

Dear Sis

Sometimes they say all the right things you want to hear but listening too it is the worst thing you could possibly do.

Say It Again (Sweet Lies Prt. 2)

Double Feature {4 The Love-3 AM}

We all want that special someone and that forever love story but the desperation for it can lead to loyalty in love in the wrong places. This is the wake-up call to not forget or jeopardize you for it.

Better Off

Dedicated to the memory of William Edwin Rivers Sr. I am so honored to say that my ONE and ONLY feature on this entire project is you Pops. 

D.T.P.(Dedicated To Pops) - ft. William Rivers SR.

A story of too little too late. When the loves still there but the pride and time doesn't allow any reconciliation.  Realizing what you had once it's all over is painful when it's accompanied with the acceptance that you can never get it back.

Missed Calls

SS {Dishonorable Discharge}

Cap Gawd

Taylo Marie Ramiri

Inspired by the disgust in myself for actions in a prior relationship. The regret of me, an apology to you. Though we weren't right together, it still wasn't right of me.

Accountability

Just having fun and sharing my art. For all collaboration interests please email your track over to jasonwrivers1989@gmail.com
