Wordplay T. Jay

WordPlay T. Jay is a hip-hop artist, Music Producer, Podcaster, and Music Business YouTuber who makes “Music for the Underdog”. That music is the soundtrack for everyone willing to persevere through the odds. His philosophy shows up on his YouTube channel, where he shares music business advice with other artists, on the No Rhyme or Reason Podcast with co-host Icarus Gray, and in his growing collection of songs and albums on streaming platforms. His last album, Overtime, is the final release in a series about living out your dream job. It is the perfect bookend to albums that explore balancing a 9-to-5 and working for yourself. His ninth studio album, Terry (2023), marked one of the most personal chapters of his career. On the record, WordPlay T. Jay explores the stories that shaped the person he is today. He shares stories about trauma, domestic abuse, divorce, and the ways he coped through it all. Utilizing rich samples of live instrumentation, loops, and drum patterns, T. Jay demonstrates his ability to produce with both digital and live instrumentation while delivering nostalgic storytelling.
