Jayryde & Lil Sleep Da King Drop Video "AYE"

St. Louis-based rap duo, Jayryde & Lil Sleep Da King, welcome their new video for the buzzing and banging "AYE" (produced by Sherlock) Being widely respected for their lyricism, wittiness, and overall production style, the Lou rappers don't disappoint us on this record, albeit the just over 3 minute song seems to be over to soon, in my opinion. But after listening to it a few times, you realize the settings best suited for this mix between a party anthem and trap chant. The first verse is manned by Lil Sleep Da King, whose charismatic flow and vivid lyrics, jumpstart the record by providing an in-your-face view into the lifestyles of the rappers. Da Phenom, Jayryde, effortlessly finishes up "AYE" by calmly corroborating Lil Sleep's claims of lavishing living and power moves, with a southern-draw-dripped verse that sums up the fact they live this life every day, not when they can.

AYE is one of those tracks that translate well from car to the club. That dirty piano lends enough grit and edginess to the production which also features synths, snappy high hats, and boomin' 808, that it almost puts you in a slight trance. This record will be one of the many hot songs found on Jayryde & Lil Sleep Da King's forthcoming EP, "High Definition 2."

Jayryde & Lil Sleep Da King are on a mission to bring more attention to the St. Louis music scene by consistently releasing quality music and building loyal fans and working closely with the local DJs and other movers and shakers, who have been rocking with the group for almost a decade now.

Although they both hold down unique styles and approaches to writing songs, they are truly a dynamic clique when they join they their talents and produce songs together like "AYE," "Commas Out The Bando," and "Stripper Tricks," which do not totally define the group but are solid examples of their musical prowess.

Check out the video for "AYE" below and let us know what you think of the song and of Jayryde & Lil Sleep Da King.
