Jay Critch was one act to watch in 2018. Many dubbed him the next-up from New York City and he's arguably made a great case for it. His buzz increased throughout the year with his numerous singles that led to the release of his debut project, Hood Favorite that arrived in the fall. Since then, he's been pushing visuals while also slowly dropping off new music. He released his single, "Something Special" in the middle of April and now, he returns with another banger.
Jay Critch is back with his new track, "Don't @ Me." The rapper dishes out swagger while flexing his slick wordplay throughout the record over bouncy production handled by nopulp. With the influx of releases recently, it wouldn't be surprising if he plots the release of his next mixtape soon.
Quotable Lyrics
I play the game like an athlete
Ever since I got money, she jackin' me
Leave it all on her face like acne
I bring out the racks like a track meet
