Burd Management Presents
Jay Worthy
Jay Worthy moved to Compton in his late teens, influenced by Ice Cube and many of that West Coast pioneer's contemporaries. Regardless of his beatmaking collaborators, the rapper tends to favor slow to mid tempo productions that pull from the mellow end of late-'70s and early-'80s R&B, suiting his relaxed approach to relating street tales. He didn't take the art form seriously until after he hooked up with producer Sean House as LNDN DRUGS, who in 2015 issued an EP with additional input from A$AP Yams and Chuck Inglish. The following year, Worthy produced Bompton, a six-part documentary on Compton, for the Vice channel.
Worthy has collaborated with producers such as Alchemist and Cardo as well as MCs such as G Perico, frequent collaborator Larry June and also recently released "Umbrella Symphony," a 7 track EP with Curren$y. Worthy's consistency and work ethic recently brought him to the attention of Griselda Records CEO and curator Westside Gunn, who signed him to the red-hot label earlier this year.
