Single Review: “Player” by Jay Lyrikz
We recently featured “Player” by Jay Lyrikz on our Trackstarz Music Leaks page. “Player” is a refreshing reminder of how effective subtlety can be in hip hop when it’s delivered with confidence and intentionality. From the moment the track begins, Jay Lyrikz sets the tone with a laid-back energy that immediately recalls the smooth feel of early 2010’s hip hop. The production is understated in all the right ways, creating room for his voice, his message, and his lyrical precision to carry the record.
One of the standout strengths of Jay Lyrikz on this track is his ability to weave clever wordplay into a relaxed groove. The hook, “My God’s not a player, He makes the rules,” is a prime example and an incredible play on words and it compliments his writing style—simple, memorable, and impactful. Jay Lyrikz doesn’t force depth; he delivers it naturally, allowing the message to land without compromising the cool, unbothered tone of the song.
I genuinely like this record. Jay Lyrikz shows a strong sense of control with both the beat selection and his delivery. “Player” is confident without being loud, purposeful without being preachy, and grounded in a groove that I think will keep the listener locked in. It proves that Jay Lyrikz doesn’t need exaggerated production to make a point—his clarity, craftsmanship, and calm presence do the heavy lifting.
Christian hip hop continues to rise with undeniable momentum, and records like “Player” are a clear reminder of why the genre is thriving.
