Cape Town based producer, Shaney Jay aka "The Plug" features acclaimed rapper YoungstaCPT on his brand new single titled, ‘YES Y? A’.
Released today, Shaney Jay, reflects on his journey, stating, "This is an exciting time for me—I've always wanted to release my own single, but I knew I had to prove myself first and produce a lot of songs to get my name out."
Collaborating with YoungstaCPT was a natural choice for Shaney Jay, who values the guidance and creativity the rapper brings to the studio. "It’s always great working with YoungstaCPT because he always knows which direction to take a record, and I’m always learning something new from every studio session with him,” says Shaney Jay.
The title, 'YES Y? A' is a nod to the popular Cape Town slang word "YesJa," a versatile term used for agreement or greetings in everyday conversation.
Drawing inspiration from iconic Cape Town tracks like 'Wes-kaap,' 'Just Be Lekker,' and 'The Cape Of Good Hope,' Shaney Jay aimed to create a song with an anthem-like quality and wanted to create another song that had that anthem feel to it."
As for what's next, Shaney Jay hints at a potential project on the horizon. "There might be a Shaney Jay project on the way soon; everyone just needs to watch this space."
