The next month will be a
busy, yet exciting time for a local
hip hop artist.
Hip hop recording artist
Cameron Jay is preparing to
release a new album, a music
video and other additional
content, all before the new
year.
Born in the Bronx, Cameron
Jay lived on East 177th
Street until he was nine years
old, before he moved to East
224th Street, where he has
lived ever since. He attended
St. Raymond’s High School for
Boys.
For over seven years, Cameron
Jay has been recording,
performing and putting out
his own content - he has been
writing music since he was 12
years old.
“I was inspired to start
making music because it was
a way to express myself and
my thoughts,” Cameron Jay
said. “Where I’m from, if you
weren’t a basketball player or
a drug dealer, you were a rapper
or a party promoter.”
In August, Cameron Jay
released his new single, ‘Ya
Tu Sabe’, an English/Spanish
fusion song featuring La-

witty phrases that instantly
grab the listeners attention,
with lyrics such as, “4, 3, 2, 1 -
like the new year,” and “I just
want to be the only song on
your I-Pod.”
He is in the process of putting
together the offi cial ‘Ya
Tu Sabe’ music video, which is
expected to be released by the
end of the month or the beginning
of December.
Cameron Jay has opened
shows for artists including
Trina, Joel Ortiz, Sadat X of
Brand Nubian, Craig G of the
Juice Crew and Steele of hip
hop duo Smif-N-Wessun.
He said that his biggest
music infl uences include the
late Notorious B.I.G., P. Diddy,
Fabolous, Rick Ross, Kanye
West and Ryan Leslie.
Cameron Jay’s mother
passed away in September
2015, followed by the death of
his father in April 2018. One of
the tracks on the upcoming album,
titled ‘Miss You’ featuring
Philadelphia-based singer
Tru Vocalz and Islima, is an
offi cial dedication to them.
Another song, ‘Peter Rabbit,
Jr.’, refl ects his father’s nickname.
“The biggest challenge of
being involved in the music industry
is trying to stay consistent
when you have everyday
life problems that you have to
deal with,” he said.
Cameron Jay’s album, ‘December
Son’, is scheduled to
be released, fi ttingly, on Friday,
December 20 on his own
independent record label Net
Worth Enterprises. He is also
currently planning the date
and venue for the album release
party.
Cameron Jay also has a
show planned at the Blackthorn
51 bar, 80-12 51st Avenue
in Queens, on Monday, November
25 and is scheduling
other live performances in the
next few months.
Despite his career as a recording
artist, Cameron Jay
said that he hopes to eventually
expand beyond the music
industry and explore other
business opportunities.
“My goals are to establish
myself as a major artist as well
as bringing my company Net
Worth Enterprises to the forefront
and bring my vision and
lifestyle to the world,” he said.
“I also want to venture off into
other industries such as clothing,
liquor, cinema and help
others reach their goals.”
