Shares Special Message of Gratitude Amidst Struggle on “Black Rose”
Curb Records recording artist Jay-Way reflects on the journey of life with his new EP, Hope This Helps, out today (12/13).
Navigating life’s ups and downs, Jay-Way shares a special message of gratitude amidst struggle on the EP’s fourth track, “Black Rose.” Listen to Hope This Helps HERE.
“With these songs, I wanted to capture and share my mental journey,” Jay-Way shares. “It reflects not only where I am, but also the times we’re all experiencing.”
Before building his reputation as a genre-bending hip-hop star, Jay-Way grew up in a Ghanian household in Amsterdam, listening to music that reflected his multicultural roots. Hope This Helps nods to that boyhood soundtrack, finding Jay-Way experimenting with the grunge music he grew up loving and showcasing him at his most diverse, leaning into alt-rock sounds while still highlighting his rapid-fire delivery as a rapper. Produced by Anton Goransson and Dayme, each track is filled with sharp songwriting that blends the personal with the universal.

About Jay-Way:
Amsterdam artist Jay-Way wants to redefine pop music. In fact, he’s set on it. But not just in a visceral sense. He wants to move beyond the conventional rapper/singer stereotype and reset the trend. His sound is a hybrid of classic 90s hip-hop with a bit of vintage soul. It’s surged with a bolt of elite level pop, and layered with some heady, contemplative lyrics. The vibe is more natural than intentional and truly reflection of what Jay-Way stands for – freedom of expression in style, music, and in life.
