JAyBoY heNdriX was born and raised in 5th Ward, Texas -- the only boy of 5 girls. The music influences that led to this particular point in JAyBoY's pursuit of composing this album comes from: Beastie Boys, Pink Floyd, Rakim, RUN DMC, Prince, Led Zepplin, Dr. Dre, Jimi Hendrix, Notorious B.I.G., My Chemical Romance, Creed, and Tupac. Each artist contributed greatly to the DNA and foundation of JAyBoY's debut album and overall music history experience. This album was constructed solely for the purpose of demonstrating the true ability of a self-taught musician. Every song on this record contains elements of the thoughts and the mindset of JAyBoY with the help of: EdA Music Productions, Dramatic Music, Blunt Force Trauma Entertainment, Duke Da Dealer, Vision Beatz (Mikkel Larson), and Da Arsonist on the Track. "Rap, Rock, & Other Drugs" embodies Rock and Roll, Hip Hop & Rap, and explains JAyBoY's life experiences through raw lyricism and painted pictures of clever wordplay or metaphors.
