Atay & JAX are a Nova Scotian hip hop duo compiled of Adam Taylor of Spryfield and Jaxon Booth of Lunenburg. Each of them spent several years as solo indie rappers before coming together in 2019. Atay first saw JAX perform at an all ages show at the Halifax Pavilion, then invited JAX to his bedroom studio where they recorded Pellet Gun. When they released their first music video they became hometown heroes, and they quickly developed a reputation for their gritty, high energy, punk-esque live performances in small venues, and legion basements. Together they serve an alternative hip-hop sound with comedic undertones and small-town stories. Their debut album ‘Last Night’ is nominated for Hip-Hop/Rap Recording of the Year at the 2021 ECMA’s and to date has been streamed over 300,000 times.
