About JAY PRINCE


East London boy Jay Prince has received co-signs from the likes of Chance The Rapper and critical acclaim from Zane Lowe (Beats One) and Annie Mac (BBC Radio 1/1Xtra) for his music, which fuses silky smooth raps that touch on life experiences and opinions on social/cultural issues, with funky, feel good production.
The 23 year old rapper and producer, who???s sound has been described as ???honeyed hip-hop, recall- ing the dawn of US sunshine rap??? (PRS for Music), has received wide- spread support with the likes of The Fader, Hypetrak, XXL, Pigeons & Planes, MTV, Complex, Revolt, Red Bull Music, Noisey, NME & more supporting his releases, as well as heavy radio support across Radio 1 and 1Xtra.
MTV listed him as an artist on ???The Brink??? and Hypetrak tipped him as ???One To Watch in 2016???, whilst XXL short- listed him for the prestigious Freshmen 2016 alongside the likes of Bryson Tiller and Anderson Paak: one of few British names ever selected.
???This only is pure, quality, progressive rap at its finest. From the beat to the bars, everything is a single swing and a home run.??? - Hypetrak

He toured Europe and North America with Soulection, headlined his own world tour, performed at vari- ous festivals including SXSW and Coachella and supported the likes of Major Lazer, Snakehips, Raury, Jay Electronica, Jess Gylnne and Mick Jenkins. ?
