Following a multi-year stint in prison, Northern Virginia's Heartbreak Jay is back with a '70s-inspired 17-song LP titled Heartbreak Hotel. The cinematic audio adventure showcases Jay's versatility, growth as a song maker, and prowess as an emcee. The sample-driven project is exciting and features four skits that help tie the whole story together before closing out with "11/28," a transparent outro that gives fans a full glimpse inside the mind of one of the DMV's most battle-tested stars.
The star-studded LP is like a family reunion when it comes to great rappers from VA. The tape boasts guest verses from ISO SCO, GORDO, D$G Dae, and Jetlife's own Black Cobain. Each artist gave a valiant effort in tandem with Jay. Although there are countless features, Jay's solo tracks show various sides of the multi-talented rapper. Songs like "1000 Bodies," "Changed," and "Tell Me" give fans a front-row seat to the movie that is Heartbreak Jay's life.
Heartbreak Jay has received co-signs from top outlets like No Jumper, Lyrical Lemonade, and many more. His career took a slight pause, but he's ready to make up for lost time after his release from prison. The YAP-representer is positioning himself for success.
