Jay Worthy Kicks Off Debut Solo Album Rollout With “I Wish”

Jay Worthy has built a reputation as one of the most consistent voices in West Coast hip-hop, dropping project after project while keeping that classic G-funk sound alive. Despite his deep catalog of collaborations and group efforts, the Canadian-born MC has never officially released a solo studio album—until now. This week, Worthy took to social media to announce his debut LP, Once Upon a Time, and he’s leading the charge with the project’s first single, I Wish.

With I Wish, Jay Worthy delivers a laid-back yet confident performance, proving why he’s remained one of the most respected names in underground hip-hop. Produced by longtime collaborator Sean House, the track oozes smooth West Coast nostalgia, blending lush instrumentation with Worthy’s signature conversational flow. He flexes his achievements, celebrating his come-up and the lavish lifestyle he’s built, all while keeping things effortlessly cool.

While details on Once Upon a Time remain under wraps, I Wish sets the tone for what fans can expect from Worthy’s long-awaited solo debut. With a track record of elite collaborations and a deep respect for the game’s golden era, there’s no doubt that Jay Worthy’s first official LP is going to be a must-hear for fans of classic West Coast rap.
