Eljay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eljay, (born Luke J. Adams on June 7, 1988), is an up-and-coming rapper from Peoria, Illinois. He is best known for his light-hearted rap that often satirizes the excesses and exaggerations in modern rap/hip-hop. For example, in his song "I Been Shot," he claims to have been shot no fewer than eighty times without requiring medical attention, and in "My Johnson" he claims to have a penis so large that he once used its gregarious length to save a small boy after the child fell down a well. He currently collaborates with his friend and producer Keith Mack, known by his hip-hop alias K Mack D. Unlike other gangsta rap artists, he avoids tangles with the law, respects local law enforcement officials and has never been arrested. His first album, "Old Enuff 2 Vote" is expected to be released in early 2007 in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, and Palm Beach, Florida in many underground music locations, and it is highly anticipated by many underground DJ's. Most notably, Eljay's material was sampled and mentioned by Swizz Beatz on the December 12 episode of Rap City.
Eljay currently attends Northwestern University and there achieved his first taste of notoriety outside of Peoria and was interviewed by The Daily Northwestern (see below). He lives in an apartment with his wife of one year, Sarah Antrim.
