Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Jaylin (97BabyJay) Anderson. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Jaylin (97BabyJay), looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Do you wish you had started sooner?
I don’t wish I would’ve started my career sooner, but I do wish I would’ve started it knowing what I know now. But even then Im kind of glad i didn’t because being able to learn more about the industry and new ways to make music is part of what makes music fun.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Im 97BabyJay and im a rapper/clothing brand owner from Detroit, Michigan. Ive been rapping for about 8 years now and ive been through all of the ups and downs of the industry. But the grind is what drives me to keep going. In 2021 i started my NBTG clothing brand which stands for “Never Betray The Gang”. Im trying to get it off the ground slowly but surely but its happening.
Are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?
I wish I would’ve really understood the importance of good networking and the power of digital marketing. When i first started i didn’t know anything about it so i spent alot of time making music nobody heard. Ever since i moved to Atlanta though, I started hitting all of these different clubs and ended up meeting everybody from execs to celebs and all that. On the marketing side ive learning how to run my own ad campaigns and its been working pretty well.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
The drive to be the greatest. I want to be on somebody’s top 10 list. Thats it. When im gone i need to be on the same level as pac, big, and all the other legends.
