“Elujay’s restorative music transcends the realms of neo-soul and hip-hop” 

– Highsnobiety

 

“J. Robb’s Talent Is Way Ahead of His Time” 

– Ones To Watch 

 

Today (December 3), singer/rapper Elujay and producer J.Robb, release their new EP ‘GEMS IN THE CORNERSTORE’ on Soulection Records. On the joint project, Elujay and J.Robb’s musical dexterity comes at full force, stringing together a sprawling mix of genres into a palliative and cohesive project. 

“After making this record together, it’s clear that our chemistry is undeniable,” says Elujay“I really appreciate the time we had during quarantine on Zoom making tunes! J.Robb’s the goat for sure!” 

Among the robust collection of songs, “Lady” ft. Kyle Dion and “Wasting My Time” ft. Zilo are standouts on ‘GEMS IN THE CORNERSTORE.’ Definitive proof of Elujay and J.Robb’s expertise in creating R&B jams, “Lady” is steeped in a consciously DIY feel that presents an evergreen ode to every phase of love. Meanwhile, “Wasting My Time” is a lament of indecisive partners hidden within a classic, swaying production.  

‘GEMS IN THE CORNERSTORE’ is a project compiled of many ideas that date all the way back to 2017,” says J.Robb. “To me this project is a representation of just having fun with the homies, making music, and creating from a space of joy.”

ABOUT ELUJAY:

Elujay is a multi-talented vocalist/producer/songwriter hailing from Oakland, CA. The 24-year-old creative began crafting his sound at the age of 14, after a friend of his uploaded a beat-making program to his laptop. Inspired by the music of D'Angelo, Musiq Soulchild, and Kendrick Lamar, Elujay started producing instrumentals and writing songs representative of his love for both neo-soul and hip-hop. The Northern California artist has been on a mission to create “honest soulful music” while expressing his feelings and experiences growing up in the ever-changing Bay Area environment. Elujay’s style is refreshingly unique and accessible, his organic ability to effortlessly vacillate between singing and rapping, stands as the driving force of his musicality.
