Genre-defying artist and producer Jay Anthony is bringing the fun back to music with his latest single, Nene Leakes—a high-energy blend of house music and Bay Area hyphy that showcases his innovative production style and dynamic artistry. The track, released earlier this month, is now available on all major streaming platforms, accompanied by a visually striking music video directed by Aminah Muhammad and Erin Danielle Walker.
Hailing from Richmond, CA, Jay Anthony has long been a key figure in the Bay Area’s music scene, known for his work on G-Eazy’s 7x platinum hit “No Limit” (feat. A$AP Rocky & Cardi B) and collaborations with artists like Kehlani, Tone Stith, and P-Lo. With Nene Leakes, he draws inspiration from icons like Pharrell and KAYTRANADA, while keeping his Bay Area roots front and center.
“My producer Ashton McCreight and I wanted to drop something that would bring the fun back to music going into 2025,” says Jay Anthony. “Everything sounds so serious right now. This track is what the streets chose—it’s about having fun and creating a new experience bridging sounds. A little hyphy, jazzy, house, Pharrell—the fly shit.”
The release of Nene Leakes follows Jay’s impressive journey from his early days with The Diligentz to working alongside The Pack, E-40, and other Bay Area legends. His genre-blurring sound and boundary-pushing production have solidified his reputation as an artist redefining the next wave of hip-hop and electronic music.
