Video: YN Jay – “Tip Off” ft. Mozzy & Louie Ray
The âCoochie Manâ Gets His Head in the Game with Electrifying Urgency Alongside Mozzy and Louie Ray in a New Video Single
Critical Praise:
“There is Bruce Wayne and Batman. Clark Kent and Superman. And now, YN Jay and the Coochie Man” – Pitchfork
“Flint, Michigan wouldn’t be one of the hottest scenes in rap without ‘Coochie,’ ‘Coochie World,’ ‘Coochie Scout,’ a mixtape titled Coochie Land, and Coochie Man, the floor-humping alter ego of YN Jay.” – Pitchfork
“‘Coochie’ is one of the funniest hip-hop videos of the last five years” – XXL
“The Flint native is one of the more eccentric rappers in Michigan, rapping about coochie, using very distinct ‘hold onnnnnnnnnnnnn’ ad-ibs, and starting off songs by asking the producer: ‘Why you always do that mannnnnnnn?’ I’m honestly not sure what these producers are doing while YN Jay is recording in the booth, but whatever it is, itâs working. The music is always wildly entertaining.” – Complex
“He raps in different voices, draws out words like theyâre self-contained riddles. You never know if heâs entirely serious, but thatâs the point.”-Â SPIN
The Video:
With his ludicrous lyricism, endless energy, and infamous âcoochieâ fixation, Flintâs YN Jay has carved out his well-earned spot as one of Michigan rapâs most colorful contributors. Since swiftly rising through the ranks of rap stardom after a career year in 2021, YN Jay returns with âTip Off,â enlisting Sacramentoâs Mozzy and fellow Flint native, Louie Ray for his new single. With fast-paced, piano-laced production, courtesy of Flint-area sound architect Wayne616, along with KDinero, the instrumental sets the stage for YN Jayâs stop-start stream of thought to shine as he wrestles with resentment, rapping, âB****, you play like Westbrook, why you mad at Kevin?/And you left the team when we-(damn)/And you left the team when we needed you, got me mad at Kevin.â The video finds YN Jay in a disagreement with his lady over text messages. He contemplates his situation in the mirror with Louie Ray playing his reflection, before the two Michigan rappers link up with Mozzy to spit fire in a chapel.
“Tip Offâ fittingly marks YN Jayâs first release of 2022, following a prolific 2021 which saw the Alamo Records signee release multiple projects, spark several viral trends, and drop a metric ton of music videos. Furthermore, the Michigan rapper solidified himself as a somewhat mythical figure on TikTok, generating millions of video creations on viral hits like âTriple S,â âCoochie Land,â and âKakashi,â while his inimitable raps quickly earned co-signs from the likes of Drake and Lil Uzi Vert. Among his 2021 projects was the highly acclaimed Coochie Chronicles, home to singles like âSlow Motionâ and the Coi Leray-assisted, âTriple S Remix.â Receiving praise from Pitchfork, The FADER, and more, the project ushers listeners into Jayâs sex-crazed mind, wielding his slip-sliding, start-stopping flow as he unleashes a torrent of punchlines and outrageous boasts. Coochie Chronicles is also home to Jayâs signature song, âCoochie,â a collaboration with âTip Offâ featured artist and close friend, Louie Ray, which boasts over 32 million views on YouTube.
Stay tuned for much more from the âCoochie Man,â including plenty of new music, as 2022 rolls on.

The Background:
“It’s scary how easy it is for me to make music,” admits 21-year-old rapper YN Jay. This is true of his 2020 hit “Coochie” and the follow-up album Coochie Land. “It was made in three minutes, easily, and the video did 30 million views. I’ve been writing songs to go a certain way my whole life, but it never worked. Now, I’m not overthinking it, and it’s making me a star.” After over a decade at the mic, the Beecher, Michigan native has given rap fans an alternative to music about violence and drugs.
Amid his rise, Jay got cosigns from Drake and Lil Uzi Vert. While Drizzy and Jay are exploring music, he recorded extensively with Uzi. The same night the two discussed collaborating, Jay stopped everything to drive to Philly. “I pulled up; we did damn near eight songs.” One track, the “coochie”-inspired “HOLD ONNNNN,” promises to release during an exciting 2021. Fresh off of Ninja Warriorâan album featuring Lil Yachty and Sada Baby that he conceptualized and recorded in a single day, YN Jay recently signed a deal with Alamo Records and is focused on showcasing his versatility and staying power. “I’m working on a few albums and letting the world know how big this is. Anybody can be a rapper; I’m trying to catch the culture and update the game.”
