For all those hip-hop lovers and rap music lovers, the CEO/Publisher of The Hype Magazine Jameelah “Just Jay” Wilkerson has showcased her skills as a business professional, marketing consultant, web designer, graphic designer, and songwriter.
Although she’s known for her Southern Entertainment Awards nomination for “Magazine Publication of the Year,” Proclamation for the city of Atlanta, and the winner of “Magazine of the Year” at the SCM Awards 2015, her newest feather in her success hat is her growing songwriting career.

Over the years, Just Jay has expanded her legacy after the death of her mother, concentrating more on the business side to make her mother feel proud of her.
“Just Jay,” born in Muncie, Indiana, has led her company with her expertise in multiple arenas. Not only as a marketing, PR, and graphic design firm, but also as a successful entertainment magazine owner focusing on music. She has excelled in every field she’s entered.
