New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The singer/rapper Elujay and producer J.Robb, release their new EP 'GEMS IN THE CORNERSTORE' on Soulection Records. On the joint project, Elujay and J.Robb's musical dexterity comes at full force, stringing together a sprawling mix of genres into a palliative and cohesive project.
"After making this record together, it's clear that our chemistry is undeniable," says Elujay. "I really appreciate the time we had during quarantine on Zoom making tunes! J.Robb's the goat for sure!"
Among the robust collection of songs, "Lady" ft. Kyle Dion and "
Wasting My Time" ft. Zilo are standouts on 'GEMS IN THE CORNERSTORE.' Definitive proof of Elujay and J.Robb's expertise in creating R&B jams, "Lady" is steeped in a consciously DIY feel that presents an evergreen ode to every phase of love. Meanwhile, "
Wasting My Time" is a lament of indecisive partners hidden within a classic, swaying production.
'GEMS IN THE CORNERSTORE' is a project compiled of many ideas that date all the way back to 2017," says J.Robb. "To me this project is a representation of just having fun with the homies, making music, and creating from a space of joy."

Elujay is a multi-talented vocalist/producer/songwriter hailing from Oakland, CA. The 24-year-old creative began crafting his sound at the age of 14, after a friend of his uploaded a beat-making program to his laptop. Inspired by the music of D'Angelo,
Musiq Soulchild, and Kendrick Lamar, Elujay started producing instrumentals and writing songs representative of his love for both neo-soul and hip-hop. The Northern California artist has been on a mission to create "honest soulful music" while expressing his feelings and experiences growing up in the ever-changing Bay Area environment. Elujay's style is refreshingly unique and accessible, his organic ability to effortlessly vacillate between singing and rapping, stands as the driving force of his musicality.
J.Robb (aka mr surf) is a Baltimore-bred artist/producer signed to Soulection whose distinctive style effortlessly blends the grit of future beats and club bangers with pretty styling of throwback R&B to create a timeless, multi-faceted and genre-defying sound. Best known for his "Trash Beats" series, "J.Robb x Soulection White Label (SWL021)" release, critically acclaimed Beats1
Radio Takeovers, his infamous Soundcloud remixes/edits, as well as his ever-growing list of production credits that already include artists such as Smino, Higher Brothers, Devin Tracy and Kyle Dion. Anytime you listen to J.Robb you can expect an intimate and uniquely curated soundscape and experience.
Since 2011, Soulection has been a cornerstone of creativity for innovative musicians, crate-digging DJs, and open-minded fans from across the world. What began as an independent radio show has since blossomed into a global community of artists and audiences, united in a borderless, genre-bending, musical movement. Over the past nine years, their grassroots expansion is a model of what happens when one stays true to their roots in the constantly evolving digital age of music. From putting out independent releases with producers like Ta-ku, Sango, Dpat, and Atu on Bandcamp to being the first collective invited to play Coachella, Soulection's growth has been organic and fruitful.
