Jay Pres & Yung Fliiboy Join Forces on ‘Flii Prezidential’ Mixtape

Jabari "DJ First Class" Carter — Fri, 16 Feb 2018 18:40:07 +0000

Jay Pres is back at it again, teaming with Queens native Yung Fliiboy on a 9-song project, fittingly-titled Flii Prezidential. Yung Fliiboy has worked with the likes of G-Eazy, French Montana and Tony Yayo — he’s also credited as a songwriter under multi-Grammy award winner Jerry Wonda’s Wonda Music. On the Prezidential side of things, Pres made a name for himself by killing stages like Hot 97’s Who’s Next and ripping cyphers, most notably The Huffington Post: Black Voices. Prezi also has the city buzzing with his latest single “Chasin’ Chicken,” featuring & produced by Grammy award winner Chase N. Cashe.

Not many artists drop joint projects at this point in their careers but Prezi and Fliiboy share an obvious musical chemistry that made teaming up for this record inevitable. Prezi and Fliiboy don’t plan on taking their foot off the gas anytime soon, as both are also prepping their own solo projects. For now, tune in to Flii Prezidential, available on all major streaming platforms. New York City is definitely back.

As the year comes to a close, it’s safe to say that Jay Pres had a productive year. The Harlem native has released three projects and 4 singles, alone, in 2016. He also performed at the legendary SOB’s 3 times – once for Hot 97’s “Who’s Next” Showcase series. One of the projects Jay Pres released was a surprised mixtape comprised of covers and remixes of popular records titled, Sephora. And it’s followup arrives just in time for the holidays.

And interestingly enough, it’s titled, MAC. This time around, we find him covering classic Hip Hop records such as Wutang Clan’s, “C.R.E.A.M.” and Jay Z’s “Dead Presidents.” This tape truly showcases Jay Pres’ versatility as a rapper. It validates his skills while showing (and proving) that he is more than capable of delivering, no matter the beat. Whether you’re a Millennial fan, or a lover of the Golden Era, you can appreciate what Jay Pres has to offer as a Hip Hop artist.

Listen to the project at the very top of the page and feel free to leave us your thoughts in the comments section.

#MusicMonday: Jay Pres – “On The Paper” (Feat. Qu’ality)

Evie — Mon, 11 Jul 2016 18:08:29 +0000

Harlem’s own, Jay Pres, follows up his recent Hot 97’s “Making the Stage” competition appearance at SOB’s – during their “Who’s Next” Live show – and “Sephora” mixtape (which featured remixed covers of popular songs), with a new single for Summer ‘16. The JDiablo produced cut plays host to both Jay and frequent collaborator, Qu’ality. The two deliver fun and clever rhymes over the infectious production.

It’s definitely a tune you can Milly Rock, Harlem Shake or hit the Running Man to

The young, rising talent from one of Manhattan’s notorious neighborhoods, has been consistent with his music; since transitioning into Hip Hop from playing college basketball. He’s a familiar name and face who has been associated with the likes of fellow Harlem native, Teyana Taylor, Dave East and Tray Pizzy (producer credits), and more. Jay Pres is undeniably on his way to leaving his own mark in Hip Hop. And like his uncle, Roy Ayers, is paving the way on his own musical journey.

#CheckTheMixtape: Jay Pres – “Sephora”

Evie — Fri, 10 Jun 2016 06:11:03 +0000

After starting the year off with a new single, Harlem’s, Jay Pres, has been steady on his music grind. The rapper/producer/audio engineer – and former college b-ball player – who hails from Harlem, is a familiar name & face in the Manhattan neighborhood. Associated with the likes of Teyana Taylor, Dave East, Tray Pizzy, (having produced for both Dave & Tray) and more, Jay Pres has embarked on his own musical journey in Hip Hop.

Sephora, strictly comprised of covers, plays off the make-up brand’s name – people use make-up to cover up. “Get it?,” says Jay Pres. Putting his on twist on some of the hottest cuts out on the radio right now, “Sephora” shows another side of Jay that spotlights his alter ego, John the Don.
