Controversy sells, even when it's been done before.
Ask Superstar Jay, the DJ behind the new Remy Ma mixtape which features Remy crucified on a giant cross on the cover. It's a move that got Nas much hype when he dropped the single, 'Hate Me Now." Now, reinventing controversy is the female emcee Remy Ma and Superstar Jay on a mixtape titled "Shesus Christ."
"She's talking about trials and tribulations she goes through as a woman in the industry." As well as unreleased tracks from Remy, the mixtape also feature full never before seen videos from new, up-and-coming directors Rik Cordero and Andre White.
Trials and tribulation is a common thread for the mixtape industry. The topic on everyone's lips was the DJ Drama situation, a fiasco that affects Superstar Jay as well. Instead of locking up DJ's in a penitenary cell, "A&R's need to be thanking us," says Jay. "The industry needs to go to the street."
DJ's such as Superstar Jay dictate music. "Basically, I have an ear for music," Jay states confidently.
