He also shared that he's launched his own label, N2L Records.

He's the second YBN member to officially drop the acronym from his name, and now Almighty Jay has more to celebrate. While it is true that there was a more peaceful transition when Cordae decided to be known as a mononymous rapper, things weren't as smooth with Jay. He had public arguments with YBN Nahmir but his beef with his former friend wasn't the only thing Jay was facing.

It was made clear months ago that Almighty Jay was upset with his label and he recently announced that he is officially an independent artist now that he has parted ways with Atlantic Records.
