About

I am Nine3 Jay, a Bay Area hip-hop artist with a mission to transform the music scene with my unique blend of raw lyrics and mumbled melodies. Born into the legendary world of music as the son of multi-platinum producer Sam Bostic (known for his work with E-40, 2Pac, Master P, and more), I've had rhythm in my blood from the very beginning. My journey in the world of hip-hop started under the moniker Lil Papi Jay, where I made waves with hit singles like "Hennyway" featuring SOBxRBE, "Holy Water" featuring Peewee Longway, "Hustle," and "Glizzy," each amassing over a million streams. These tracks were a testament to my artistry and resonated with listeners across the globe. During my career, I was also part of the dynamic duo JAYnFRESH, where we dropped hits like "Cattin Off" featuring E-40 and "Friends," which saw a remix featuring IAMSU. These collaborations showcased my versatility and ability to create infectious tunes. Raised in the diverse communities of Vallejo, Fairfield, Sacramento, and even spending time in Reno, I've absorbed the Bay Area's rich culture and unique soundscape. Growing up with the influence of a mob sound, my music reflects the authenticity of my upbringing. Now, as Nine3 Jay, my goal is not just to create music but to inspire others who have faced similar struggles. I've been gifted with the ability to articulate the hardships and triumphs of life through my lyrics. My mission is to show that no matter how tough the journey, perseverance can lead to extraordinary achievements.
