Watts' Jay Rock Readies "Follow Me Home" For July - April 30, 2007 By : Rud



Although featured in countless updates as a feature or a name referenced by another artist, Jay Rock has not as yet been a mainstay on dubcnn. That changed last week when staff member Eddie Gurolla caught up with the man himself at the Rimac Arena in San Diego, CA.

Hailing from Watts, California, rap sensation Jay Rock is being groomed to dominate the West Coast rap scene. His powerful single "Lift Me Up" is currently in heavy rotation on Los Angeles’s number one radio station, Power 106.


After grinding hard to get his name out to the public and opening up for stars like (DJ) Quik, The Game and Slim Thug, Jay Rock is ready to step into the spotlight.

His debut album, "Follow Me Home," due out July 10th, is what Jay Rock describes as "a straight, real ghetto album." The CD, coming out on Warner Bros/Top Dawg Productions, features an all-star production lineup, with the likes of (DJ) Quik, Fred Wreck, Kay Gee from Naughty by Nature and JR Rotem contributing tracks. When asked about his time in the studio with (DJ) Quik, Jay Rock told us that "he’s definitely the most creative person I’ve worked with."

The unique opportunity to work with Kay Gee arose when Jay Rock’s associate Niam Ali reached out to the super producer on Jay Rock’s behalf. "We flew out to a studio in Jersey and made it happen," reflects Jay Rock. The album features guest appearances from E-40, Yung Joc and K-Dot as well as The Game, who also contributed production. Be on the lookout for more on Jay Rock on dubcnn soon!

For more information on Jay Rock and the debut album "Follow Me Home" in the meantime, head over to his official MySpace page or TopDawgProductions.com for the latest.

[CRAFTY]

July...that's not that far away Hopefully he'll get the proper promotion & exposure he deserves.
The summer of '07 looks quite promising: Omar Cruz is scheduled to release his debut on Interscope/Geffen and Crooked I is supposed to drop as well. Maybe even G. Malone?

Thanks for the update!

Tight, props for the update. Jay Rock's one of my favorites from the West right now, same with K-Dot too.

Props on the update, should be a good album.

The Game producing?

[Tha G In Deee]

The Game producing?

I saw that too, but he did say he was gonna start to produce or something like that.

And also, I wonder if it's only DJ Quik giving a beat or if it's the Fixxers? Not that I don't like the Fixxers' production, it's just a regular DJ Quik beat would be cool.

The Game producing?

Actually, Game produced that "Fire In Ya Eyes" song with rest of the Blackwallstreet artists on Blackwallstreet Journal 1. And on Jay Rock's Myspace it says that Game produced a song called California Soul (Before the one with Sky Balla came out), so either Game gave that beat to Sky Balla, or its another California Soul on Rock's album.

I thought "Fire In Ya Eyes" was produced by NJD.

I thought "Fire In Ya Eyes" was produced by NJD.
