New Music: Ray Jr. – “Don’t Give Up” (ft. Sway)

Cleveland has always provided original music that incorporated the harsh realities of growing up in the midwest. As we enter into a new era of Ohio music, Cleveland has embraced Ray Jr. as the mayor of their city — specifically East Cleveland, which has a reputation for being the roughest part of the area.

Just over two weeks ago, Ray Jr. lit up the internet with a monster remix of “Same Crew” featuring Dej Loaf, Young Dolph, Troy Ave, and Machine Gun Kelly. Switching gears today, Ray unloads his new Clockwork-produced single “Don’t Give Up.” The new music, as most of Ray’s music tends to do, touches on very real situations happening in his city including everything from running the streets for money just to get by, to disloyalty, to police brutality, and much more.

Winner of the John Lennon songwriting contest grand prize (hip hop category) ‘Coming off of premieres from 2 Dope Boyz, AllHip Hop and Birthplace Mag and working with Cali MC Blu, my next cut is “Coin a phrase for change” Produced by Prolyfic. Living in New York you have to make a daily choice on whether or not you feel like donating your spare change to a homeless person. It can be a difficult process for both parties, I take a look at both sides of the coin.’

“If they don’t understand that’s their lost”. P. Coles was born and raised in the “Black and Yellow” city. At 21 dropped his first mixtape “Nice To Meet You” (available on Datpiff.com) that did exceptionally well, more than he expected. It became overwhelming, he moved to ATL, took a year off, shadowed Sean Garrett & Yung Joc for learning purposes. Moving back to Pittsburgh dealing with depression and frustraiton, the artist struggled trying to figure himself out and where he fit in. He felt he didn’t have the normal sound everyone else around the city had with an rap alternative pop-like sound so no one would accept his music. Finally telling himself who cares if they don’t understand, the artist is back from a long break and in full throttle. Opening himself up to do what he loves and embrace the critics.

Song Description: Pittsburgh artist P. Coles returns to music sharing a new sound with his single “Don’t Have It All”. P. Coles comes with a different approach to the music. An approach he claims he’s been holding back for some time. Check out “Don’t Have It All” prod. by IamDG where the artist raps and harmonizes responding to why he has to grind so hard.
