Jordan Coleman, Son of Eric Adams, Releases New Party Anthem Inspired by His Rap Ambitions in Albania

He has a Euro-vision.

Jordan Coleman, Mayor Eric Adams’ 29-year-old son, has returned to New York City after participating in the Albanian version of “American Idol.” He’s also released an EP featuring five “party” tracks inspired by his experiences in Eastern Europe.

“I believe this is going to be the most significant phase of my life so far, because I’m a young man with a lot of responsibilities and things to express,” said Coleman, who works as a substitute teacher and sports coach at Palisades Park High School in New Jersey. He released “Jet Lag Dreams” under his stage name Jayoo on April 25.

The time he spent in Albania had a major influence on his new project, as it made him feel like a completely different person in the Balkans.

“I felt like who I really wanted to be,” the 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,” he added.

“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.”

The jack-of-all-trades, who first rose to fame as a child actor as the voice of Tyrone on the Nick Jr. cartoon “The Backyardigans,” is also wrapping up shooting a “hip-hop musical” where he plays a “secret agent trying to stop clout-chasing the zombies.”

Some of the latest tracks on Coleman’s new album — which includes titles like “Girls in the City” and “Up 2 Sum” — were even debuted live at a birthday bash he threw at Gracie Mansion in August, he said.

While none of the songs were recorded at the mayor’s official residence himself, there’s a slew of songs he wrote at the pad — including an unreleased song, “1212 in Gracie.”

“It’s one of those songs where I’m just like, ‘Dad, I’m recognizing who you are … and I appreciate you two for making me, and it’s just like, ‘Here we are in this Gracie Mansion just living our life.’”

Though he’s “not really big into politics,” the Big Apple’s first son doubles as consultant on young voters to his father, he said. 

“I ask him a lot, how can I help? And I offer a lot of help, in the sense of trying to give them ideas of what of what people my age might be cool, or what people my age think,” he said.

The pair don’t always see eye-to-eye, he revealed, especially his father publicly panning drill music.

“I think my dad looked at it from the police approach and not from a human approach … I think the specific subgenre in which he didn’t like was the genre that was violent and a criminal act and then flaunting that on the song,” Coleman explained.

But he was quick to point out that his 64-year-old dad is on board with Jayoo’s “party” rap songs.

“It’s lifestyle music, it’s party music,” he said. “I know he enjoys my music.”

Coleman hopes conversations with his dad about music — and other topics like Adams’ long-lost “shorty in Far Rockaway” — will be in the spotlight in a podcast series he’s in the process of launching with the mayor this spring. He expects the first episode to be released around Father’s Day.

But just as being the mayor’s son has its perks, it also has its drawbacks, he said. 

“With my dad being who he is … [and] giving me the foundation of what I have, it has come to the point in time where every time I step up, I need to present myself in a positive light,” he said. “When you’re the mayor of one of the biggest cities in the world their son’s gonna face pressure.

“You take it as a balance and you strive with it.”

Coleman reports that the balance between working, coaching and his passion projects has become even harder this year given the progression of his mother’s dementia — and any time spent with his family is treasured.

“Her dementia is pretty bad, and it came to the point where she can’t really talk or walk or anything, and she’s eating through a tube,” he said. “Me and my dad, we went to go see her on Mother’s Day … and it was just like one of those magical moments, my dad said something that really stuck with me:  

“He was like, ‘Your son’s all grown up now, you know, it was as if he was looking at the product that my mom raised,” he said. “I’m now the teacher, the coach, the rapper, the filmmaker. It was a magical moment for me. It was bittersweet.”

While 2025 is a pivotal moment for the aspiring hip-hop star, it’s also a big year for his dad, who is up for re-election.

“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.”
