My longtime client and good friend, Jay Leopardi, professionally known as “Jay Who,” has been back in the studio a
fter being absent for many years. He is cranking out some trend-shattering music, including the track mentioned in the title, “Round N Round,” released today on iTunes.
Round N Round features Afro Rican, a now legendary hip-hop group that established the “Miami Bass” of Southern Florida in the 80’s with their ‘87 hit Give it all you got. Jay collaborated with Derrick Rahming of the group to write and produce some of the track on his upcoming album.
Jay has been performing, writing, and producing since the age of thirteen. This continued through his teen years as he worked with another famous figure in the hip-hop community, Danny D. Jay secured a national recording deal at the age of 17 and reached a national level of success, again around the sounds of the South Miami movement.
I first met Jay in the 90’s and early 2000’s when he formed his own record label, Scion Music, a mark that was later acquired by Toyota. Jay has many talents, and soon found an opportunity to use his skills at marketing by acquiring the Hollywood branding agency, Who’s BIg? That agency handles a number of large accounts, including Cedric the Entertainment and Blair Underwood, among others, as well as corporate accounts such as Kia, Chevrolet and WB Music.
The single can be purchased through iTunes, as well as directly on Jay’s website. The song is gen3erating some nice responses and already has achieved widespread acclaim. Check it out for yourself.
