Title: Introducing Young Maylay aka Carl "CJ" Johnson from GTA: San Andreas (write up)

I would like to take the time to introduce you to a new breed from the depths of the West Coast. He goes by the name of Young Maylay, his name may be new to some but his voice will sound familiar to a lot of people. Young Maylay was the lead voice actor in the "GTA: San Andreas" video game doing Carl "CJ" Johnson. Maylay was recommended to Rockstar Games by DJ Pooh who was sought after for a contribution to the game. Pooh told them he had the perfect guy in mind, and the rest was history. And with the buzz behind the game I tought that I would give the fans a much needed introduction to him as a rapper along with some exclusive music because everybody been waiting to hear from Maylay ever since they heard his affecting performance as the voice of CJ.

People first got a sneak peak of Maylay's gutter charismatic flow around the time the GTA game was released. It was the song called "Salute'n G's" featuring the legendary King T and production by Da Riffs. It can be heard on the DJ Warrior/Clinton Sparks mixtape "Coast Control Vol. 1". Maylay also appeared on a track on that same mixtape along with Roscoe and Tristate.

Young Maylay collaborated on a few more tracks with King T, they been working together for years and as Young Maylay himself puts it "King T schooled me up when I was runnin' around on the block. He put me in the studio so thats my OG homie, whatever he needs I'm there for him". Maylay also wrote the majority of T's underground album "Ruthless Chronicles" which came out in late 2004.

Now I know that you wanna hear what Maylay is all about, so I'm not gonna hold it back cause we got some exclusive audio for the viewers out there. The first track we got for you is a solo track called "Knock Tha Box". This song showcases not only his amazing MC skills but his voice and delivery. Another outstanding song and one of my fav's is the cut "Inna Ghetto" featuring King T, Bad Azz, and Da Homie E. This is some straight West Coast heat right there and has me hyped for more.

» Young Maylay - Knock Tha Box
» Young Maylay - Inna Ghetto Feat. King T, Bad Azz, Da Homie E

Both those songs are featured on his album which will be available in our online store as soon as the album is completed. It will have songs with King T, DJ Pooh, Bad Azz, Dresta, Da Homie E, and many more. Below is the tentative tracklisting from his album but it will have some changes because he's gonna add like 5 or 6 new tracks to it to make it a full length album.


Album cover & tentative tracklisting:

(http://www.westcoast2k.net/images/youngmaylay_cover.jpg)

01. Untitled Feat. Tha FCC
02. Salute'n G's Feat. King T
03. Inna Ghetto Feat. King T, Bad Azz, Da Homie E
04. Aint Official Like Us Feat. Tha LiL Homies
05. Ghetto Stars Feat. Tha Bangers
06. Ride, Swerve, Slide Feat. Destrukto
07. California to Vegas Feat. Ed Bone, Danny Girl
08. Wanna Be Like Us
09. Strip Shows Feat. D Dope
10. Knock Da Box
11. We Like Feat. D Dope


As you can see Maylay is runnin with some of the big dogs from the West Coast but he's trying to showcase himself and make it on his own without having to rely on the help of high profile appearances. And now that you all have learned about Maylay as a rapper I want to tell everybody to be on the lookout for much more coming from him cause he's definitely a force to reckon with for the New West movement, and Westcoast2k will be here to bring it to you all. Personally I can't wait to see him grow and progress his skills even more. Oh boy the kid got fire!

Yo, everybody download those songs, you wont be disappointed. This is how the west should come back, less name dropping and more funky music.

Yes, I just scanned the article and saw that picture.  It looks horrible so I decided to comment on that.  I didn't bother to read it all or download any songs.  If he's reallly that good I'm sure he'll get my attention later.  I don't have time to check out every person who decides to pick up a mic.

i know, just sayin somethin negative to hate lol.

No

so why bother checking the thread if you're not gonna give him a chance? i swear some of you dont support shit unless its affiliated with big names... and ever heard of constructive criticism? who gives a fuck about the cover, its the music that counts.

this is too sad, but true, most people dont give a fuck bout the music, but bout the names related to it, so they read about a new artist and say fuck it, but when they see "with Snoop Dogg featuring" or whatever, then they give him a chance, this shit is pointless but anyways, im looking forward to it  8) oh! and he doesnt look like the CJ i had, lol, Ving Rhames does, not him. lmao
