Tell me a little bit about Jair Dynast. A little history, the name, etc.  
Jair Dynast: Jair Dynast is a regular dude trying to live up to his name by doing something irregular. Elevate our community through positive music speaking on the negative aspects of day-to-day life in the inner-city. Jair is my given name meaning “One whom God has enlightened”. I was born in Barbados to a beautiful and courageous young woman who brought me to North America at a young age. From there, I earn myself a basketball scholarship and thought I was going to be a pro at some point but God had different plans for me, so here I am.

Overseas, it seems that underground Hip Hop is more respected than in the US.  Being from Canada what differences have you seen between the Hip Hop scene in Canada and US.

Another Stellar Review of Jair Dynast's Album V.I.A.L.E.N.C.E.

ANOTHER STELLAR REVIEW FOR JAIR DYNAST’S ALBUM VIALENCE!!

FEBRUARY 2007

Hip-HopKings.com recently reviewed JAIR DYNAST debut solo album V.I.A.L.E.N.C.E. stating “From the very first track “Intro”, to the final track “My People”, Jair shows his ability to produce vivid imagery, mixed with a range of emotion and feeling within his voice. The diversity in the album is also refreshing, with the club hit “Pull Up”, to the self-conscious “Promise”, Jair never fails to deliver”.

Reviewer Ryan Maxwell goes on to say, “The professionalism remains untouchable, as production is executed to the highest degree, and the beatmaking is excellent. The combination along with Jair’s razor-sharp rapping is the perfect blend that so many artists can only dream of.”

Artist: Jair Dynast
Interviewer: Alexander Fruchter

Jair Dynast had a passion for basketball. Perhaps it took up too much of his heart, as he was forced to give up his hoop dreams due to a cardiac condition.
