Lil Tjay
Tione Merritt is an American hip hop artist/rapper who is more popular by his stage name, ‘Lil TJAY.’ A native of New York, TJAY grew up not far from the birthplace of hip hop. However, his exposure to the history of the genre is minimal. TJAY had a turbulent childhood and spent much of his time getting into trouble and fighting with other boys. He also committed petty robberies. In 2016, he was sentenced to serve a year at a youth detention centre in New York for a robbery. After being released in 2017, TJAY began frequenting a recording studio. He had previously made a couple of songs using his own personal instruments. On the first visit to the studio, he recorded ‘Resume’. It garnered positive reviews and led to the release of more tracks and a record deal with Columbia Records. In December 2018, TJAY put out his first extended play, ‘No Comparison’. According to an interview published on ‘Pitchfork,’ TJAY is presently working on his first studio album.

Lil Tjay Lends A Melodic Hand To Lil Zay Osama’s Free-Spirited Video For ‘Emotions’

After showing off his potential on his 2019 major-label debut album, True 2 Myself, Lil Tjay returned with his follow-up Destined 2 Win earlier this year. The project saw the Brooklyn native flaunting more of his artistry and skills across the 21 songs. A little more than a month removed from that album’s arrival, Tjay lends his talents to rising Chicago rapper Lil Zay Osama in a video for their nonchalant collaboration “Emotions.” In it, the duo surrounds themselves with a cast of women during a video shoot while detailing their displeasures towards emotional people.

10 Things You Didn’t Know about Lil Tjay

The internet might be a great source of information for anyone trying to learn something, but it is also a constant reminder that you cannot believe everything you read. Take Lil Tjay for instance. He was reported dead in May 2021 on the internet, but he is alive and well – which, in layman’s terms, means he is not dead and the internet was mistaken. He’s the latest celebrity to go through the death hoax situation. Imagine waking up one morning to read you have died when you open your internet browser. We imagine many feel the same way about it as Moira Rose on the episode of Schitt’s Creek when she was reported as dead and she wanted to see what the world had to say about her – and judge those who sent pink carnations as a sympathy flower. Lil Tjay is not dead, but he does have some fans who want to know him better.

Lil Tjay "Destined 2 Win" Review

Lil Tjay first broke out in 2017, with a pair of consecutive Soundcloud-viral singles, “Resume” and “Brothers.” The two songs showcase the New York native’s talents, even in an early iteration, clearly: a keen sense of melody, an easy-going flow, and lyrics that showed a certain emotional state and resonated with a wide audience. Tjay would appeal to the streets via reflections on being entangled with them, in the same way he would attract a female demographic thanks to his relationship musings. Finally, wrapped up in at all is his sound-- trendy and TikTok-ready, inherently for the youth, but with a touch of grit, passion and emotion, helping him also appeal to a more mature fanbase. It’s once again in this space that we find Tjay on his second studio album, Destined 2 Win.
