Lil Tjay’s journey from the streets of the Bronx to the heights of the rap game is nothing short of incredible. Starting with the breakout hit ‘Resume’, recorded fresh out of a youth detention center, Tjay quickly gained attention with his raw, melodic style. The success of tracks like ‘Brothers’ and his feature on Polo G’s ‘Pop Out’ paved the way for his debut album ‘True 2 Myself’, which hit number five on the Billboard 200. Despite facing adversity, including surviving a near-fatal shooting in 2022, Tjay’s resilience shines through in his music. His latest album ‘222’ showcases his evolution, featuring collaborations with some of the biggest names in the industry, and solidifying his place as a major force in modern hip-hop.
