[Album] Jay Dot Rain: "Memoirs of a Young Dreamer"
23-year-old Jay Dot Rain, who received a RubyHornet First Glance, has been making waves from the south for a minute now. Having garnered nods from the likes of Complex and DJBooth, the Alabama product keeps a steady hustle, constantly looking to up his game. Alabama is better known for football and pickup trucks than hip-hop music, but Jay Dot makes hip-hop heads from east to west take notice with a variety of flows that line up with the steady production from frequent collaborator BlockBeattaz, who produced the whole project. Memoirs of a Dreamer is certainly worth a listen. Check out the project below and keep it posted to RH for more on Jay Dot Rain soon.

"Drive Me Crazy" is the latest from 23-year-old Alabama hip-hop artist Jay Dot Rain. The song premiered last week on Complex, a testament to his reach. The beat, produced by BlockBeattaz, is wholly instrumental with and A$AP-esque hook. For his part, Jay Dot hovers somewhere between Lord Flacko and Drake as far as sound, albeit with an extra lyrical flair. And he's not afraid to sprinkle some auto-tune on it. The track is the first single off Jay Dot's upcoming release, Memoirs of a Dreamer. For now, check out the song below and pick up his previous mixtape, CooleyFLY Chronicle.
