Glasgow Sessions #16: Jay-Lee CCTV — Govan Rap, Scheme Life & Building the Scottish Scene (Live Performances from Patrick Studios)

From Govan's housing schemes to headlining Audio Glasgow, Jay-Lee CCTV brings raw Glasgow rap to Glasgow Sessions. Rapper, producer, events manager, and one half of the duo CCTV with Jam Harvie, Jay-Lee's been building the underground for over five years — and his debut solo album All Or Nothing (Scheme Hing label) is twelve tracks of unflinching scheme life.

This episode features Jay-Lee performing "Canny Forget", "Cold Stare", and "Mirror" LIVE in Patrick Studios — pure fire captured raw.

We talk through the album's heavy hitters — "Stuck in Time", "Nae Hame", "Never Again" — and the mixes that take you from grimey pop to DNB to garage without breaking stride. Jay-Lee opens up about "Money Talks" as a direct response to Govan gentrification and the East Govan Community Council, plus CCTV's festival run from Solfest's Scheme Hing tent to Knockengorroch, Lindisfarne, and that Mobb Deep support slot he won.

From winning comps to running year-round Scheme Hing events with Loki, Kryptik, and the Scottish rap family, to his January take that "Scottish rap's having its moment" despite the "no money, no respect" reality — this is working-class Glasgow rap at its most real. Special shout-out to @becciwallacemusic for the vibes.
