So, I was scrolling through my feed the other day, and this name popped up – Jay Critch. I’d heard a few of his tracks before, but I didn’t really know much about the guy. I got curious and figured, “Why not dig a little deeper?”
First things first, I went straight to the search engine and typed in “where is jay critch from”. Boom! A bunch of results came up, and I started to put the pieces together. Turns out, his real name is Jason Cole Critchlow. Fancy, right?
Next, I found out he was born on February 25, 1998, in good old Brooklyn, New York. Clinton Hill, to be precise. That’s some classic New York stuff right there. I also discovered that his mom is Trinidadian, and his dad is British-Guyanese. That’s a pretty cool mix!
- Dug up his real name: Jason Cole Critchlow.
- Pinned down his birthplace: Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, New York.
- Got the scoop on his heritage: Trinidadian mother and British-Guyanese father.
Getting into His Music Journey
Then I started looking into how he got into the music scene. It seems like this guy started making noise back in 2015 when he did a track called “Man Down” with Rowdy Rebel. I gave it a listen, and it’s got that raw, street vibe. It seems like he had a buzz going around even before that.
In 2016, he started putting his stuff up on a music-sharing platform. That’s when things really started to blow up for him. I guess one of his tracks, “Did It Again,” really caught fire. Oh, and he signed with Rich the Kid’s label, Rich Forever Music, in 2016 too.
So, there you have it. Jay Critch, a Brooklyn-born rapper with a unique background and a pretty interesting come-up story. I had fun piecing this all together. It’s always cool to learn more about the artists behind the music, you know?
