Jackboy

The first voice you hear on Jackboy’s eponymous project isn’t his own, but rather that of his Sniper Gang label boss Kodak Black. After the incarcerated rap star bestows blessings on his longtime friend, the South Florida artist unloads on the meaningful opener “Pressure.” With beats by the likes of Go Grizzly and Tntxd, among others who understand his aesthetic, he flexes and threatens without remorse on violent cuts like “Pack a Punch” and “Won’t Understand.” He lays down some tough love over “Can’t Be My Wife” and reunites with Kodak for the Tay Keith production “Like a Million.”

Florida's JackBoy is closely affiliated with the Kodak Black-led Sniper Gang crew, standing out from the pack with a distinctively staggered flow and a tendency to swing into passionate singing mid-verse.
