Jay Worthy – Once Upon A Time (Disc 1) [Album Stream]
Jay Worthy opens his double-album like a street novel: lean loops, freeway-glide tempos, and calm, unhurried flexes that make LA feel mythic without pretending.
The sequencing moves like chapters—intro’d by the cinematic “Act 1” trailer—and the singles already tell you the palette: the marble-cool “Reckless”, the knuckle-tuck cipher “Choosing Shoes” with Boldy James, the Parliament-kissed “P Funkentelechy” (with George Clinton & Leven Kali), plus the revived favorite “Sake” with Curren$y orbiting the rollout. It’s world-building, not playlisting.
Disc 1 is all economy and atmosphere—grown West Coast luxury, with the windows cracked just enough to smell the boulevard. If this is the prologue, Disc 2 should feel like the late-night drive after last call. Stay tuned. October 10 is the date.
Guests/producers (project-wide): appearances span DJ Quik, Ice-T, Larry June, Boldy James, George Clinton, Bun B, Conway the Machine, Kamaiyah, Ty Dolla $ign, Wiz Khalifa, 03 Greedo and more, over production from The Alchemist, Cardo, Thundercat, Terrace Martin, Chase N.
