Super Saiyan Jay and King Dev are two aspiring artists hailing out of West Palm Beach, Florida, who have combined their efforts on a collaborative basis to release their inaugural project as one. Having goals to put their spin on genres, they decided to take the feel-good Jersey Club style and add some flare to it.
Infused with the playful spirit of Jersey Club, the aim was to create summer vibes that would take listeners to good times. It resulted in a debut 5-track EP entitled "Jersey Girls". For 15 minutes, irresistible hooks and charming lyrics, merged with the dynamic beats to set the perfect soundtrack for relaxation and good vibes.
Right from the get-go, the lead single, "Dirty Diana" sets the tone. Super Saiyan Jay croons an ode to that bad girl who loves to get down. They lay down an intoxicating rhythm section composed of pumping synth pads, rolling hi-hats, and spicy percolating percussion. The bouncy tempo and groovy danceable vibes can't help but move one along.
The second track "Back To The Crib" sees the energy even further raised. The song is propelled forward at a dizzying pace by an avalanche of crashing beats. The delivery turns the impact up top, as the vocals flutter between rapping and singing. The production embellishes the instrumentation with lively synth flourishes and super-sized bass drops to get hearts racing-even if not actually at the club. "Put Love First" is the more reflective interlude of the mid-point; it creates an open and reflective atmosphere of soft chords, gentle strings, and atmospheric pads. The title track "Jersey Girl" is an ode to appreciation, with the word-dropping of wordplay-filled lines over the insane beat work. Brilliant vocal ad-libs and this bubbling rhythm section make it super impossible not to bop along unapologetically.
"Beautiful Soul" rounds the EP off quite well. They create dreamy, but bopping melodies with patterned synths that float, murmuring pads, and glitches of percussion for added flavor. It's a lasting impression as the addictive textures and gorgeous sounds engrain themselves into memory.
Blending beats with clever lyrics and summer vibes, infused with their own artistic flair, Super Saiyan Jay and King Dev's "Jersey Girls" EP does just what it sets out to do: be the perfect soundtrack to good times.
I had a blast listening to the first-ever collaborative EP from Super Saiyan Jay and King Dev entitled "Jersey Girls". This project fits right in my wheelhouse, being that anyone who loves upbeat, feel-good genres of music such as Jersey Club is going to be a fan.
Super Saiyan Jay and King Dev mesh quite well in the studio, bringing out the best in each other on hooks, verses, and instrumental beats more often than not in this cohesive collection.
"Jersey Girls" successfully created summer tones that transferred you to a good time. I'd love to hear more from Super Saiyan Jay and King Dev in collaboration in the future. I found this to be a promising collaboration, and I would have no problem wholeheartedly recommending it to others looking for an ideal soundtrack for a day at the beach or a kickback with friends.
