Jackboy Shines on His Self-Titled Album, With Appearances from Kodak Black, YFN Lucci, and More

Seamlessly combining hard-hitting lyrics and creative cadences, Jackboy is one of the most inventive songwriters on the trap music scene. Coming through with his most complete artistic statement to date, Jackboy shares JACKBOY, his new self-titled debut album. Brimming with the self-assurance that inspired the rapper, JACKBOY is a thrilling an unpredictable 17-track effort, incorporating organic instrumentation, infectious melody, and vocal acrobatics into a Southern rap milieu.

Marked by production from Tay Keith, Kid Hazel, Go Grizzly, TNTxD, and many others, JACKBOY reflects the artist’s wide-ranging tastes (he listens to Adele and Ed Sheeran more than he listens to any rapper), with instrumentals that range from the minimalist percussion-driven “Zombie World” to the East Asian tinge of “Freedom Of Speech“ to the hyperactive synth of “Hate The B!tch.” The new project showcases the 23-year-old rapper’s versatile vocals, which oscillate between clipped cadences and pained operatics at a moments notice.

Last week, the rapper shared “Pressure,” the album’s emotional and defiant opening track, and dropped “Like A Million,” the Tay Keith-produced collaboration with his close friend and Sniper Gang chieftain Kodak Black. Earlier this week, the 22-year-old rapper shared the DrewFilmedIt-directed video for guitar-heavy project highlight “Cleaning Crew,” which reached #3 on YouTube’s trending charts. Featuring appearances from an all-star lineup of guest rappers including Kodak, YFN Lucci, Casanova, Blac Youngsta, and Warhol.SS, JACKBOY is available everywhere via Sniper Gang/EMPIRE.

JACKBOY is the first project in a busy 2020 for the Pompano Beach, FL rapper. Last year, Jackboy released two projects, including the acclaimed Lost In My Head project, which dropped in September and included popular singles “Not A Clone” (5.3 million views) and the JetsonMade-produced “Bipolar” (3.5 million views). After building momentum with the release of “Freedom Of Speech” (1.1 million views), which is featured on the JACKBOY album, and collaborations with YFN Lucci and Louisiana rapper TEC, Jackboy recently earned a nomination from XXL for their Freshman 10th Spot.
