OBN Jay grew up in Baton Rouge, where he witnessed crime and violence throughout his youth. Inspired by 2Pac and Boosie Badazz, he began rapping at a young age, and he began uploading his music online when he was in high school. 2018 saw the release of tracks like "Stop Playing," "How That Go," and "Big
Ole" (ft. JayDaYoungan) as well as two EPs, "Lost Hope" and "OBN", and the mixtape "Logic Real Talk." Several more singles (including "Chess Not Checkers" and "Tragic Story") and the mixtape "No Weakness" appeared in 2019.
In 2020 OBN Jay released a full-length project titled "No Commercial Breaks," which featured the late King Von and Jackboy. This offering included "Dead Presidents (feat. Jackboy)" and "Trap Daily (feat. King Von)." Jay became an
artist to watch on both BET and REVOLT off of this commercial offering. REVOLT stated that Baton Rouge has been a breeding ground of young, fresh talent and said that OBN Jay is the latest from the city to drop some heat. [ less ]
