Sonic drops a diss at Santa Ana's Jay Taj over his 'king of OC' claim

Another rapper is coming for Jay Taj's crown. On June 6, 2025, Juice Unlocked Music posted a diss record aimed at the Santa Ana artist from Sonic, who goes by @sonicfrmthewest on Instagram.

According to the post, Sonic is the second rapper to diss Jay Taj for saying he is the king of OC. The cover graphic said another rapper had come "out the blue" with a diss for the Santa Ana artist.

Not the first

In March 2025, Juice Unlocked Music posted Tustin rapper C-Sharp critiquing a Jay Taj freestyle and answering with new music of his own, after Jay Taj called himself the king of Orange County.

Sonic's diss arrived two days after Juice Unlocked posted, on June 4, 2025, that the City of Santa Ana had presented Jay Taj with a Certificate of Recognition for his contributions to the community. On June 2, Jay Taj landed at No. 8 on Juice Unlocked's ranking of the top 50 Orange County rappers of all time.

The record

The clip is a performance video. A rapper in heavy face paint delivers the verse straight into the camera under green and purple light, and the verse calls out Jay Taj by name more than once.

Juice Unlocked asked followers to rate it: heat, or back to the booth. The post drew 103 comments and 121 likes.
