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.
