Taylor J – “Before The Wake Up” EP

Band : BigHead On The Beat, Carter X, S.M. Tracks, Scott Supreme, Taylor J
Title : Before The Wake Up
Release Date : February 10, 2016

Taylor J debuted Before The Wake Up according to plan (February 10, 2016). The St. Paul, Minnesota emcee tells an interesting story on the latest EP. The 1991 tape was poppier, this is all serious. Taylor J has an ear for composing full records of a wide range. More than anything though, the artist’s visual game is A1. Play through the “Proud” and “Side Effects” videos. Ain’t many in the country putting out quality productions as consistently.

On “Yea Yea,” he says:

“A quarter million on the table a change a nigga views
10K on machine guns a change a nigga shoes
The bag still in traffic, a nigga ain’t got shit to do
I might well bet some money on sumn, see if I can lose”

Taylor J – “1991 The Mixtape”

Band : Blue Jones, Christian Lou, Daredevyl, Lexi Banks, Luchosky, Quintin Lashley, Ric & Thadeus, Taylor J
Title : 1991 The Mixtape
Release Date : August 11, 2015
Label : Taylor J Takeover

The Minnesota Pop-Hip Hop singer debuted 1991 on August 11, 2015. The way he works 90’s and early 2000’s samples into his own ideas is seamless.

Taylor J – “Central Ave” EP

Band : Christian Lou, DJ Advance, Lexi Banks, Taylor J
Title : Central Ave
Release Date : February 24, 2015
Label : Taylor J Takeover

Taylor J dropped Central Ave earlier this year (February 24, 2015), but I just heard of him recently. This will play, although I prefer his most recent drop, 1991.

The Minnesota pop artist was just out in California shooting his newest video. With this Taylor J Takeover grind, the singer will be everywhere in no time.

Watch the video for “FTSU” too.
