Ghostboyrj steps into the ring with Black & Blue, a sharp-edged cut from his upcoming album State of Mind. This track hits with precision, weaving introspective storytelling into a jazz-tinged boom-bap foundation. The beat swings with a laid-back groove, yet there’s weight behind every verse—lines that reflect on struggle, identity, and self-discovery without feeling overworked. It’s the kind of track that lingers, leaving the listener caught between reflection and motivation.

Hailing from Toronto and shaped by the underground, Ghostboyrj has built a reputation for crafting music that respects hip-hop’s past while pushing it forward. With influences ranging from Mac Miller to Capital Steez, his sound blends crisp lyricism with textured, self-produced beats. Black & Blue serves as a preview of what’s to come on State of Mind, which drops March 28th via URBNET. Featuring collaborations with Jon Kabongo and BKRSCLB’s Gritfall & The 6th Letter, the project promises a deep dive into Ghostboyrj’s artistry—raw, personal, and unapologetically real.
