“Overwhelmed” with pressures of holding down a minimum wage job, a Leeds man has decided to quit and sign up to Universal Credit so he could concentrate on becoming a professional rapper.
James Rhule, aka rapper Jay Rhule, was growing sick and tired of trying to hold down mundane jobs which he didn’t care about. The 25-year-old, who lives with his parents in Beeston, decided working for minimum wage was “slowing him down” in his journey to “making it” in showbiz.
After about a month of trying to make it, he’s set up his own website where he’s offering out his services as an artist and producer. Jay is charging £300 for a live performances and fans can also snap-up merchandise T-shirts for £75.
