YOUNG MAYLAY
(January 2005) |
Written By: Lil Jay for Westcoast2k
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. »

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!
