#HOUSTON KAY JAY SHOWCASES HIS ROUND THE CLOCK GRIND ON “HICKORY DICKORY”
With his debut EP, “Tees, Trees & Mp3’s”, currently in full circulation it’s all visuals from here on in from Houston emcee Kay Jay. The C10ud representer from Spring Branch has no intention of stopping the grind for holiday festivities and therein lies the inspiration for this song. Jacking a tune we all had drummed in to us through nursery school, Kay Jay gave it a darker, street feel makeover to illustrate that he plans to work around the clock to achieve his goals. As a newly graduated entreprenuer who now has a degree in Music Business to call his own, I am inclined to believe he will reach them.

I came up with the song to show my passion, ambition, and love for the country of Haiti. There are people that will judge you based on your upbringing and say what you’re not capable of doing. This is me telling everyone out there that no matter where you’re from you can overcome that.”
