Mayor Eric Adams' Son, Jayoo, Releases A New Rap EP

This November, New Yorkers will be electing the next mayor of the city and moving on from the corrupt clown show that Eric Adams subjected the citizens of the Big Apple to for the past four years. But interestingly enough we may be becoming more familiar with his son as he pursues a career in the rap industry. No, seriously.




According to The New York Post, Eric Adams' 29-year-old seed, Jordan Coleman aka Jayoo, has just released a new EP, Jet Lag Dreams, after competing on the Albanian version of American Idol. While we doubt his father's "popularity" will help his cause in any way, shape or form, we shouldn't be quick to judge Jayoo's work as his infamous daddy's day job has nothing to do with his own talent or work ethic. Having worked as a child actor doing the voice of Tyrone on the Nick Jr. cartoon The Backyardigans and even having worked for Roc Nation's film department in 2022, Jayoo's been working hard following his industry dreams as he now works a regular nine-to-five to make ends meet.




The New York Post reports:




"I think that this right now is about to be the biggest chapter of my life, because I'm a young man and I have a lot of responsibilities, and I have something to say," said Coleman, a substitute teacher and sports coach at Palisades Park High School in New Jersey by day, who released "Jet Lag Dreams" under his rap moniker Jayoo on April 25.




"I felt like who I really wanted to be," the teacher, actor, musician and filmmaker told The Post, "like that last portal step where you step into the big-boy career - and so I realized I need to make music that people could relate to when I'm out there.




"I have a purpose that keeps me up at night and wakes me up in the morning," said Coleman, who was a finalist in the European talent show.




"I have to prove it to myself I'm not just crazy with my ideas, and I have to prove it to the world that I have something beneficial for them, too."




For his career's sake it's probably best he doesn't boast that he's the son of one of the most disliked mayors in New York City's history. Just sayin'.




Now that we know Eric Adams' son is attempting to break through on the music scene, all those parties and rubbing elbows with celebrities that Adams partook in while he should've been working is starting to make a bit more sense. The whole time we thought he just wanted to be part of the cool kid's table, but in retrospect, he was probably looking to help get his son's music career going... while making celebrity friends.




While it's almost a foregone conclusion that Eric Adams will not be reelected as the mayor of New York City this coming November, he still has the support of Jayoo as he stumbles to the finish line of the 2025 mayoral race... apparently.




"I call it 'portals,' I was entering a new portal when my dad was getting into the office," he said, "and I feel like this [current] portal ... is the end, when he was first coming to office. 




"Now we're going to have a new portal to step into with him going for his re-election."




Aight, b.
