Media entrepreneur Jasmine Jones and TLG Agency recently teamed up to host an exclusive listening party for rising artist Kayla G, giving fans and industry insiders a raw, intimate look into her creative world. The event, held at Jones’s sprawling 25,000-square-foot creative studio, was a masterclass in authenticity and bold vision.
With palpable energy in the room, Kayla took attendees on a track-by-track journey through her new project, sharing the inspiration, backstories, and real-life experiences behind each record.
A Track-by-Track Breakdown
“Knew Dat”: Produced by T Ray and Jay Lodge, this track was recorded at Etheka Studios. It’s a bold declaration of confidence, with Kayla unapologetically stunting on haters.
“White Toes”: Kayla kicks off the project with a confident strut, setting the tone with a track all about stepping out clean, staying cool, and feeling herself.
“DPMOH” (Don’t Piss Me Off Hoe) ft. Crystal Crave: A fan favorite that started as one of Kayla’s go-to phrases, this song became one of the most talked-about moments of the night after friends urged her to turn it into a track.
“Egg Yolk” ft. Asiaaa G: Inspired by producer Jay Lodge, the song is packed with raw energy, with a clever comparison of “cracking heads to cracking an egg.” Asiaaa G’s feature adds an extra layer of grit to the record.
“Pop Sh!t”: This was the first track Kayla recorded after Twerkhouse. The song came together when Kayla drove to Baton Rouge to work with Cali Kilo. She initially thought Cali Kilo was someone from a past beef, but once she realized it wasn’t, the two locked in and channeled that tension into a hit.
“WMBA”: Building on their newfound chemistry, Kayla and Cali Kilo teamed up again for this collaboration. Kayla called it a “two-player All-Star team record,” an anthem for her friend group of unique personalities and hustles.
“On Yo Head”: Inspired by the playful and wild energy of Sexyy Red, Kayla set out to create something crazy and unforgettable, and she delivered with this bold track.
“IYWT” ft. Cali Kilo: A testament to her grind, this song was originally recorded in a closet in Atlanta. After being reworked with Cali Kilo in the studio, Kayla now considers it a “masterpiece.”
“On Yo Head” ft. Nadia: This track marks a powerful moment: Nadia’s first-ever song. Kayla pushed her friend into the booth, helping her overcome her self-doubt. The result is a strong debut and a powerful collaboration.
“IDGAF”: True to its title, Kayla brings raw emotion and a fearless delivery, making it clear she’s not concerned with anyone’s opinions.
“FaceTime” ft. Yung Bleu: After the original beat was given to another artist, Kayla re-recorded the track just last week. The result is a defiant anthem about blocking out negative energy and cutting off those who don’t belong in her life.
“Wellness”: While the concept from producer Jay Lodge initially didn’t click, the record eventually grew on Kayla, becoming a song about self-love, pursuing happiness, and staying true to yourself.
Authenticity at the Core
During her interview with Jasmine Jones, Kayla opened up about what makes her stand out: her unwavering authenticity. “I was always being me,” she shared. “But I was nervous to show who I really was. Once I became vulnerable, my fans started thanking me for being real. Other women told me it gave them confidence to be themselves too.”
That raw honesty and bold energy resonated with every person in the room. It’s the very reason fans are connecting with her music and why Kayla G is quickly becoming one of the most authentic voices on the rise.
A New Space for Creators
The night was also a testament to Jasmine Jones, who not only hosted the conversation but also created the 25,000-square-foot facility that served as the backdrop for the event. The studio, a dedicated hub for creators in TV, film, music, and entrepreneurship, embodies the same mission Kayla brings to her music: providing a platform for people to express themselves and shine.
Together, Jasmine Jones and TLG Agency crafted a night of genuine artistry, community, and bold vision, proving Kayla G’s words ring true:
“I said I would”
