Biography
| Jason “Jay-E” Epperson, the producer/songwriter behind Nelly and the St. Lunatics, began his love of rap music in his mid teens. While working at a local skating rink, Jay-E began to experiment—making all sorts of different sounds with recording equipment. On a chance meeting at the rink, he and Ali (of the St. Lunatics) became good friends. This bond hooked Jay-E on an art form that would change his life forever. In August 1999, just after signing with Fo’ Reel Entertainment and Universal Music Publishing Group, Jay-E, at only 20 years-old, left for New York with Nelly and the St. Lunatics to record Nelly’s 7X platinum Country Grammar (Fo’Real/ Universal). The first single, “Country Grammar,” only took two weeks to climb to No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Rap chart. Propelled by the hit single, the album Country Grammar went to No. 1 on Billboard’s 200 chart, and stayed there for five weeks. Jay E produced and co-wrote ten tracks on the album, including the hit, “Ride Wit Me.” The album was nominated for Best Rap Album Grammy and Jay-E was also listed at No.16 on Billboard’s Top 100 Producers List in their year-end issue. Jay-E also produced the St. Lunatics'platinum debut album, Free City, which was released on June 5, 2001. Jay-E is currently working with Ali on a solo record and with Nelly on a follow-up to Country Grammar. |
