Q: Let us start with the name, what is your real name, and why did you choose the name ‘Traylay’?
A: Well, my is Traylay real name, Nitray Grant. I got the name Traylay from a friend I know. It’s kinda like a nickname.
Q: Tell us a little bit more about the purpose of your music and your genre?
A: I’ve been into music for over 30 years. It was never a hobby to me. I started off with writing raps and as years when by, I started to record myself. I love listening to more old-school hip hop than today’s rap. I also love R&B.
Q: You are going to release your first album soon share something more about that?
A: I’ll be releasing an EP soon to introduce myself as an artist. The ep is called v.s.o.p “versatile side of a person”.
Q: The new number ‘Let’s Go’ is a great number. Please share with us how you came up with this brilliant song?
A: “Let’s Go” is telling the listener. To never stop going for the goal. “On your mark” means know what you want. “Ready set” meaning prepare yourself and let’s go speaks for itself.
Q: Any memories that you would like to share that you had while recording or making the song?
A: I just lost my mother in December. And losing her told me that I can’t waste time gotta reach my finish line.
Q: As a child who influenced your love, your admiration for hip-hop rap music?
A: My brother, “Hoodcrediteric” started it before me and he saw how much I wanted to do it so he guided me until I have my own method of music.
Q: If you are given the chance of collaborating with any musicians, who would you choose?
A: If I could collaborate with any musician. In rap, it would be Drake, Method Man, Rakim, Nas, and 50 Cent. R&B would be Donell Jones, Brain McKnight, Tank, Jamie Foxx
Q: Would you like to try new genres which are completely different from hip-hop?
A: Yes, most definitely try new genres. A lot of people don’t know how many groups and the single artists did new genres to spread themselves out to the public. Gain new listens and touch new markets.
Q: You are currently working with Lbleobars (Dopemusicmonopoly/Reddteam), can you share some glimpses about that project?
A: Well, Lbleobars is like a brother to me and we are putting together some songs that are coming soon. So, look out!!!!
Q: Tell us more about your production house ‘EKG’?
A: EKG HOUSE AKA CROSSBEATZ. Cross Beatz (formerly King and Cross music) was established in 2006 by Craig Cross and King Eric III. We met in a small town that was too small for our million-dollar creativity and dreams. We were trapped and worked tirelessly making beats day and night. In mid-2011 we decided to share our in-house production with the world and dropped “Git Ya Bars Up: King & Cross Instrumentals.” We grinded sun up to sun down and all night long pursuing or dreaming. We sold hard copies from Boston to Brooklyn then uploaded it to the internet (i.e., Datpiff) in late 2011 after we completed the sequel. That same year Craig Cross (superb pianist and all-around solid guy) caught a case that would lead to his incarnation. He was looking at ten years.
Q: Please say something for your fans.
A: I want to say thank you to all the listeners who listen to “Let’s Go” and comment about it cause the fan’s comments are what makes you better as an artist. I love yar and see you next track stay on top!!!
