A major concern in Jamaican entertainment since the 1960s, is artist’s lack of knowledge of the music business. That ignorance has left many of them down and out in their senior years.
Ejai is determined not to suffer that faith. He expresses his commitment to good business practices in ‘Letter From Me’, one of his latest songs.
Released on January 6, it is produced by Iconix Beatz.
"The song is in fact very personal. I go into detail on what my current and past situations are and the plans I have for my children and legacy, and what I’m doing in order to secure that for them," said Ejai, who is the father of two sons.
Born in New York City (where he currently lives), Ejai was raised in Hanover, a rural parish in western Jamaica where his parents are from.
While living in Jamaica, he competed in regional talent contests which prepared him for a career in music. Last year, the rapper had a minor hit with ‘Fast’ which set the tone for ‘Letter From Me’ and ‘Magician’, another of his songs released on January 6.
Several stalwart Jamaican artists have fallen on hard times over the years. Families of well-known acts such as Frankie Paul have struggled to pay for their funeral services.
