1 Take Jay was born in Compton, Ca. He grew up in a single mother household and as a only child. Being a only child encouraged the precocious Jay to form a strong identity of himself. Not having strong influences in his life made him have to look to himself for answers about life, to learn that his perspective mattered the most to himself cause at the end of the day he knew he was his own man. This created a strong minded individual who, unlike others his age needed validation to feel confident. Jay validated himself and gave himself confidence. Making him stand out from the crowd. At this point, Jay and others he knew understood, this kid was different.
