The former, an MC hailing from Compton, earned his street stripes as a Crip, pouring his life experiences into numerous mixtapes including 2013’s Project A and 2015’s Blue.89, which netted the hit “Juice” that racked up 972,000 hits on YouTube. Jaynari cut his teeth elsewhere as part of the all-star production team League of Starz, pivotal in the jerk movement (his first big credit was on New Boyz’s triple-platinum single “Tie Me Down” featuring Ray J in 2010) and continuing on to build the current “Young California” sound, as well as Rich Homie Quan’s platinum-certified “Walk Thru (featuring Problem)” and Tyga’s smash “Faded” featuring Lil Wayne.

I’m still with the hood but we’re going to the corporate side of the things, and take the music to the next level.”
