| ABOUT JAY GWUAPO |
| Brooklyn's long been a hotbed for the latest and greatest in rap talent, and Jay Gwuapo is the borough's next rising star. The East New York native is just 18 years old, having picked up rap as a career a year ago—but he's already making moves that artists with years on him have yet to accomplish. With a series of buzz-generating street singles and a sure-to-be-fire debut mixtape on the way this year, Gwuapo's talent and hybridized musical style will surely only gain more recognition to come. Gwuapo started pursuing rap in earnest, pumping out unreleased tracks that started making noise in the NYC rap scene and eventually teaming up with Russ and K. Balla’s From Nothing record label. "Downbad" from 2018 marked his proper debut single, featuring chilly production and Gwuapo's now-trademarked "R&B-drill" sound. Then came the languid, melodic "Drip Sauce," a collab with fellow Brooklynite KJ Balla. Since then, Gwuapo's dropped a few more choice tracks, including "Steppin' Out" and the grim, serious "Well Explained”. Eventually word got around to star-making label Polo Grounds Music, whose B. Jacques took particular interest in helping Gwuapo take his career and talent to the next level. "A lot of people were reaching out, but no one connected with me like my son B," he enthuses. "The love felt different from what I felt from nobody else." What's next for Gwuapo? His debut EP. "I've come along, and it's about to go crazy. I want everyone to know that I'm here. Everything that I'm saying you can relate to—that they wanna live and wanna have, their motivations—and I'm spitting good. That should be enough for everyone." And where does he see himself in five years? Young, successful—and able to prove it: "I wanna be choosing which car I wanna take out of my lot." If Gwuapo keeps moving the way he's been, he'll be facing that choice sooner rather than later.
