JAYJ | “Talk Proper (feat. Crick)”
With the summer slowly coming to an end, it can be natural to feel out of sorts. Luckily, artists are debuting solid bangers beforehand so that we can hold onto it for a little longer. An artist who’s living proof is JAYJ.
His latest song, “Talk Proper (feat. Crick),” provides fans with a steel pan drum loop, a booming bassline, and sporadic hi-hats. These elements alone give the soundscape a tropical feel, leaving the listener refreshed and ready to elevate. The song explores what it means to have a money-minded mentality. Additionally, they emphasize the importance of saving and investing, advising others subtly that overspending is a big no.

In the first verse, JAYJ’s feature Crick lays out witty punchlines like, “If you measure greatness imma snap the ruler,” and unveils how people doubt his newfound wealth, adding that they even try to see if his bills are paid and question his purchases. But Crick isn’t too worried about the smack-talkers. In actuality, he’s getting to the bag, and they aren’t.
He raps, “They finna call me in and tell me if my rent paid/I be bossed up girly calling me her sensei/I’m on a week-long binge got rewards on the 10th stay/I don’t need advice it’s so obvious I been paid.”
Next, JAYJ calls out the fugazies, saying, “You can’t run a business throwing Benjy’s on the floor.” Afterward, JAYJ compares his wins to theirs. And once he’s done, it can be concluded that he’s the reigning champ. Then, JAYJ speaks about giving back to his day ones, before flexing off. “Tryna get my brothers rich,” he raps. “I got a whole iceberg, and it glistens on my wrist/And it’s crazy /Way the shit they tried to fuckin play me.”
