“When I do something, I really do it,” admits 25-year-old rapper 1takejay. Although rapping was not in his plans until recently, the slick-talking, high-energy lyricist is the latest example of Compton, California's greatness. With over 100 million streams combined, Jay has proven himself as an elite contender among rap’s new class. His upcoming Atlantic Records album, Compton Globetrotter, shows that he can not only carry the ball; he can slam-dunk it.
