Jay Tee is a West Coast rapper from the Bay Area who began his career in the early '90s as a member of the pioneering Chicano rap group N2Deep before founding the independent label 40 Ounce Records and embarking on a prolific solo career around the turn of the century. Born James Trujillo, he and fellow group member TL (born Timothy Lyon) made their commercial recording debut as N2Deep in 1990 with the Johnny Z-produced single "Work That Body," released on Rated Z Recordz. Based in Vallejo, CA, the group was subsequently signed to a recording contract with Profile Records and made its full-length album debut in 1992 with Back to the Hotel. Produced by close affiliate Johnny Z, the album's title track was a mainstream breakthrough hit, reaching number 14 on the Billboard singles chart, and remains a West Coast rap classic of the era. Unfortunately, successive efforts failed to rival the success of Back to the Hotel, though the group remained active throughout the remainder of the decade, releasing the albums 24-7-365 (1994), The Golden State (1997), The Rumble (1998), and Slightly Pimpish/Mostly Doggish (2000). In addition to N2Deep, Jay Tee was also a member of the Chicago rap supergroup Latino Velvet (also comprised of Baby Bash), which made its eponymous full-length album debut in 1997. As a solo artist, Jay Tee made his commercial debut in 2001 with The Knocks, a compilation spanning 1992-2000, and So Cold, a full-length studio effort of all-new material. Both albums, along with those that followed, were released on the independent label 40 Ounce Records, founded by Jay Tee. Successive albums include High Caliber (2002), A Cold Piece of Work (2004), The Thou$andaire (2005), He Got Game (2005), How the Game Go (2006), A.K.A. Jaime Trago (2008), Money In The Streets (2010) , The Game Is Cold (2013) and more.

Today’s world of rap/hip-hop and popular music has become abundantly oversaturated with plagiarism, personality and living facades, along with the average rapper having an overall displaced love for their craft. Los Angeles native Rajon “RJ” Durant sonically illustrates his genuine adoration for music, while captivating his audience with original innovative cadences and gingerly articulated lyricism.

RJ began his unexpected leap into writing and rapping after the sudden passing of a dear friend at the age of 18. Feeling as if no one would completely understand his intimate thoughts due to his rough background, RJ found refuge and comfort in his notebook, thoroughly providing him the platform needed to express himself. After having several run-ins with the law, RJ’s days of running the streets came to an unanticipated pause when police kicked down the doors of where he and his friend sold illegal narcotics placing his friend in custody. Faced with the dilemma of whether to stay in LA and remain in the same environment or change his scenery completely, RJ decided to uproot and move to Atlanta, Georgia where he finally started to find his own style and place in rap music. In the spring of 2012 RJ decided to move back home to Los Angeles to begin diligently pursuing his music career. There, good friend Lemmie recognized his talent and assisted in granting him the company of acclaimed producers such as; DJ Mustard, Trend (producer of E-40’s “Function”), D. Nice (producer of Tyga’s “Faded”), Skinnyman, T. Flamez & T. Wells (Atlanta, Georgia).

Currently, RJ is working on promoting his new single “*itchez” w/ fellow rapper YG, as well as working with the afore mentioned producers and continuing work with various upcoming and established artist.

"I approach the game with a players mind and a lovers heart, making music for my family first, then friends and fans."
