Jay Kurdy, “Wishes, Dreams & Reality” – New Music

For those of us who have been sifting through boxes for hip-hop’s best albums and spinning masterpieces since the days of boom-bap, MC Jay Kurdy’s latest song, “Wishes, Dreams & Reality,” is a breath of fresh air still speaking to the foundations of the genre. Though with a taste all his own, Jay’s most recent single strikes with the kind of grit and honesty that feels like an homage to the great.

Raw Energy

The beat catches you right from the beginning—a pulse-like mix of deep basslines and hefty drums. Though it’s accompanied with modern elegance, which gives it both familiarity and freshness, there is a sense of longing. Jay Kurdy provides a natural, raw energy that recalls you why you initially fell in love with hip-hop; he does not depend on gimmicks or too polished production. His voice is powerful, his cadence incisive, and his delivery has that gritty edge that is so frequently absent in the overproduced sound of today.

Highs and Lows

Lyrically, “Wishes, Dreams & Reality” probes the highs and lows of life as well as the search for something true. Jay’s words really resonate since he is not hesitant to present tales of love, ambition, and suffering in a way that seems like he is speaking to every hip-hop head out there who has gone through their own road. Though Jay provides a distinct edge that is unquestionably unique, influences from Tupac, Ice Cube, and Big Daddy Kane show up in his flow and storytelling.
