JayR City is an up-and-coming recording artist from Cleveland, Ohio. He was raised in the inner city in a strict, conservative, religious, single-parent home in a neighborhood riddled with drugs, crime, and poverty. As a child, it was important he maintained the familial hierarchy. He knew his place in the household and therefore kept his thoughts and feelings to himself. He felt restricted and silenced as he and everyone he knew quietly struggled forward. At age 9, he discovered Tupac Shakur’s albuim “Strictly for my Niggas” in his older sister’s CD collection and the creative doorway was opened. He credits Tupac for helping him find a voice.

He discovered music as an outlet for his harbored emotions and began writing rap as a form of self-expression. As an adult, City began creating music and quickly connected to a growing audience on his Instagram. He recorded and released his first rap music video, “Foreign” on YouTube in 2017 and garnered over 4,000 views. His hit R&B single “High” was released shortly before he dropped his first album entitled “2 July” in September of 2019. The album had 80,000 streams over three different platforms. 

In 2020, City successfully sampled T-Pain’s “Shawty” and then later in the year impressed his listeners by incorporating the titles of some of Usher’s major singles into the lyrics of his own rendition of Summer Walker’s “Come Thru.”

With a smooth, sexy sound like Tory Lanez and Travis Scott, he sings and raps in an alluring way that people from all genres can relate to his music. His highly-anticipated second album, “Progression to Greatness” is expected to drop by the middle of 2021.
