Jay Hollin was born in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1989. Throughout the 90s – 2000’s Jay was inspired by such artists as Tupac,Eazy E, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, 50 cent, T-Pain, and the Neptunes. At home he grew up as an only child who listened to a wide rage of music. From 2004-2008 Hollin spent most of his time writing lyrics but focusing on school. Music was a way to channel his inner thoughts and release them in a positive way. In 2008 Jay Hollin attended Devry University where he brought his first mic at the book store. After that the rest was history. From 2009-2010 Jay Hollin upgraded his recording software and began recording with his then label “SDIMG” after being recruited by another up and coming artist Soulja Corleone (Ceo of SDIMG). He began working with other rappers such as Legend, Kidd, & Yung Rocky. In late 2012 he released his first album “Recreation”.
