"Goin Up" x "No 13" The Official Fixtapes ft. Elevator Jay


If you've rocked with me over the past few years, you've probably heard the sounds of Elevator Jay.  If you're looking for someone who embodies the truest definition of an "Artist", visit www.ElevatorJay.com.  From the artwork you see, to the beats you hear, and the voice that accompanies it all, Elevator Jay is a Rapper, a Producer, and a Graphic Designer mixed into one, with limitless potential across the board. 

A Charlotte native, he brings a Southern spirit with a lyrical cadence that makes listeners automatically bounce!  Having shared the stage with the likes of Big K.R.I.T., Slim Thug, and others, Elevator Jay continues to make his mark as one of the South's noteworthy voices.  Check out this joint called "Fresh Cut" which chops up a sample from Rich Boy's "Throw Some D's On It", produced by none other than Elevator Jay himself!

 
As you can see from his resume, Elevator Jay has an expansive music catalog, and I was fortunate to mix and host two of his first FIXTAPE projects entitled, "Goin Up?" (2011) and "No 13" (2013).  As many know, working with Elevator Jay on these projects gave me the motivation to begin the YAK TrYAKs Mixtape Series as a way of highlighting him and other talented artists in the region.  Click the links below to get your Fix!

YAK TrYAKs Mixtape Series

The YAK TrYAKs Mixtape Series, presented by Thank God For DJs, is a collection of remixed songs "re-produced" by DJ Dexter Dynamite featuring some of the regions dopest artists.  With a sole objective to highlight NC-based artists under one mixtape, YAK TrYAKs takes popular records and remixes them with a "YAK" theme.  Artists were sent an array of instrumentals to consider, and after recording their verses, they submitted their vocals to "The People's Champion" to light fire to the turntables! 

Fans became seduced by hearing new artists over recognizable beats... artists who hadn't even met each other were blended on the same records with complementary flows... in the end, the vision worked!  New relationships between fans and artists were formed and the region became united across the board!  Every trYAK has been radio edited for air play in any market - club, cookout, mixshow, birthday party, etc. - so other DJs are encouraged to download and mix the trYAKs in their own sets as well.

We got talent! Str8 #likeYAK
