Los Angeles rapper 1TakeJay has released the song of the summer with his latest single “1234.” With production from Mike Crook & Extendo Beats, the track may bring back some nostalgia to music fans as it holds hints of JKwon’s “Tipsy” can be heard throughout.
Currently featured on Spotify’s Westside Story playlist; within the track Jay speaks on the life he’s living as a ratchet. From the love he doesn’t receive from his peers, wild nights that may or may not have happened on tour, to the type of women he deals with; Jay exudes confidence with a pinch of arrogance per usual 1TakeJay fashion.
The visual opens with a mock interview as he’s asked “What type of music do you make?” Where he answers in the only way he knows how; in the most sarcastic manner. The beat drops & he’s seen on screen with 3 beautiful women that match his energy.
Starting off 2023 as an officially independent artist, 1TakeJay had already begun to take his career into his own hands the start of last year. While he was preparing to release his debut studio album ‘Compton Globetrotter’ (September, 2022; Proud of U, Baby Boy, & Social Media), Jay was releasing side projects (‘SAFE FUN SUMMER’ & ‘The Morning After’) accompanied with visuals & hasn’t come to a halt.
“Nothing has really changed,” Jay states. “I never stopped working, I got thousands of songs. It’s just putting them together in a way that makes sense for me.”
