Iraqi American San Francisco Bay Area Rap artist “AJTheKid” who was mentored by the Bay Area Rap Legend “The Jacka”, and featured on 50 Cent’s website, does something different and releases his first R&B/Rap single- “I Use to Dream” May 24th…. This track is for high school sweethearts, couples, lovers, and the hopeless romantics as well as single people just dealing with love or regretting past relationship decisions. The song is definitely something anyone who has ever been in a relationship or felt butterflies or love will relate too. It’s also an amazing single. It’s not “AJTheKid’s” usual style.
When I asked "AJTheKid" why he wrote an R&B/Rap song which is a departure from his usual “hood” lyrical music, he responded by saying “I wanted to do something a little different, more universal. I might be from the "Hood” with a reputation that precedes me but I have also grown up and changed some of my ways and how I think about life in general. Besides my “hood” songs I wrote a song that is a reflection of my relationships in the past, the present, about my friends, high school and what I have seen couples go through. I hope everyone that listens to it enjoys the track!"
