Lil TJay pulls up to the Mornings With Mero crew for a real, unfiltered conversation about his journey. TJay talks about growing up in the Bronx, his role in inspiring the Bronx drill movement, and how he secretly influenced artists like Sha Ek and Kay Flocka before they blew up.
He gets deeply personal about surviving a near-fatal shooting and waking up from a coma — what it felt like, what changed in him, and how it shaped his new music. TJay also breaks down his first independent album They Just Ain’t You, what it means to finally own his masters, and why going independent was the best — and hardest — business decision of his career.
Plus: his early love for Justin Bieber, the Offset situation in Vegas, thoughts on youth violence, and what the Bronx really means to him.
