Bay Area emcee J.Lately links up with South Carolina rapper Damn Skippy for their new single “Paycheck,” a playful yet pointed take on the frustrations of nine-to-five life. Produced by West Coast Trey, the track floats between breezy humor and relatable burnout, capturing the pair’s laid-back chemistry while tapping into a universal grind.
“Paycheck” arrives as the second single from J.Lately’s upcoming 2026 album on Ineffable Records, extending the momentum from his 2025 project Good Morning Hello, which featured appearances from Dizzy Wright, Jarren Benton, Locksmith, Demrick, Wax, Through The Roots, Kash’d Out, and Marley B. Most recently, J.Lately wrapped a national run with Wax this past November, sharpening his live show and expanding his fanbase ahead of this next chapter.
Lighthearted, relatable, and rooted in West Coast ease, “Paycheck” sets the tone for what’s shaping up to be one of J.Lately’s most engaging releases yet.
