Elyjah OE is a rising music star from lower east side Manhattan with a style that’s hard to pin down. After listening to his latest project OE Different I fell in love with the hard hip hop drums and trap edm melodies and bass in it’s entire production. Elyjah’s delivery on this project ranges from modern Florida-styled rapping on his record “Ziplock” to a bit more of an RnB-ish singing/crooning on songs “L.A.Noire” and “Legacy”.
With support from his Indie Label OE Entertainment and a very active fanbase, Elyjah has garnered over 40,000 streams from OE Different within less than 2 months after its release date!
Recently I got the chance to ask Elyjah about his start in the music industry and the honest inspiration behind his latest hit single “Chatter”.
When asked about his inspiration to start music, the young star replied “I was managing and shooting videos at first, and kept telling myself I couldn’t make music. Until one day, me and my boy got bored one night and said let’s go to the Stu. We ended up liking how it sounded and dropped our first track “Trappin” featuring Davo”.
Personally, there’s nothing more interesting than hearing stories of how artists become artists and seeing their progression. It was dope hearing Elyjah’s old releases all the way to his newest one “Chatter”. Don’t get me wrong, his first release “Trappin” was a gem with its catchy melody and tone as he painted his come up in the city through his own eyes… BUT this new joint “Chatter” he got he speaks on “climbing the ladder” in the music industry and life, and how it affects people around you.
When asked about what inspired Chatter” Elyjah spoke about how when he made the song he had just got involved in the industry and started making new contacts, some which became close to him and others that didn’t work out so much in the long run.
In Elyjah’s own words he shared, “Basically a lot of people talk too much and don’t know when is the right time to talk about certain things, so that’s why it’s called Chatter… ‘cause they was chatting”. “Chatter” is hands down one of my favorites, it’s catchy & well delivered with melodies and real life content that’s relatable!!
