Spurred on by the lyricism of local legends such as Sprigga Mek, Jay Sint and his crew of young, like-minded MCs found some national attention through a collaborative single released in late 2024, Block Party Dubplate — a song which found legs well beyond its original purpose as promotional material for a live event they were putting on in the nation's capital. "So when people started vibing to it and listening to it, I'm like… It wasn't supposed to blow up like this," he said. Funnily enough, despite having already happened, he still has people asking him for details about the show spotlighted on the track. Speaking candidly with Nesia Daily, Jay Sint spoke about his family roots, music making, and which language he finds most natural whilst rapping.
