Jay Lewis

Southern rapper Jay Lewis used the Internet to his advantage for his mixtape series, Dreams of Getting Rich, released between 2016 and 2018. Years later, two songs from the mixtapes -- “I Hope” and “Bag Season” -- went viral on TikTok and their popularity inspired him to start making music again. Steven Jay Lewis was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1994 started rapping around 2013, when he uploaded his first song, “DJ Mix,” to SoundCloud. Like many mid-2010s hopefuls, he took advantage of various social media apps, earning a following for various six-second loops on the short-lived but beloved app Vine. He issued mixtapes at a steady clip in the mid-2010s, most notably Dreams of Getting Rich (2016) and its sequels, Dreams of Getting Rich 2, Dreams of Getting Rich 3 (both released in 2017), and Dreams of Getting Rich 4: The Blitz (2018). After releasing the mixtape 7 in 2018, 2020’s Don’t B a Menace (a collaboration album with Geaux Yella), and the not particularly holiday-themed How Jay Lewis Saved Christmas, Lewis turned to making mostly sporadic singles and keeping a lower profile. Suddenly, in 2023, a diss track, 2019’s “I Hope,” picked up viral heat on TikTok. The track was added to Lewis' compilation Lone Wolf, and fans started combing his back catalog for other gems. They found it in “Bag Season,” a cut from Dreams of Getting Rich 3 featuring fellow Baton Rouge rapper Da Real Gee Money, who was shot and killed shortly after the track’s original release. It peaked at number 12 on TikTok’s Top 50 tracks. Inspired by the popularity, Lewis was soon releasing new music, appearing on fellow rapper Créamo$up's single “Pop Fa Me (Whop Whop).”
