Jay Rhule had grown sick and tired of mundane minimum wage jobs 'slowing him down'
“Overwhelmed” with pressures of holding down a minimum wage job, a Leeds man has decided to quit and sign up to Universal Credit so he could concentrate on becoming a professional rapper.
Jay had been working from home for a call centre for about a month. His job involved asking major supermarket’s customers if they’d received their orders. "I’ve never been good at keeping a job and I’ve never had a job for more than a year. It all comes down to wanting to do, trying to do, music. I was living life to a calendar that I didn’t want, I wasn’t doing what I wanted to do in my life. I’d had enough."
Jay says his songs are about his life and how he’s perceived and dealt with certain situations. How he feels street smart but is also bookish. His Ghanaian heritage and love of gospel music is also important to him and inspires his own work. 'Put Leeds on the map' Jay has said his decision to go into rapping is not about the money, he just wants to live and breathe music. “That’s the only time I feel normal,” he adds.
