“Don’t be afraid
To let your light
Shine on the world…”
Jacobi got things rolling for Week 20 of his #52in365 #FormerlyFresh music campaign with another collaboration from Texas DJ and Producer Dr. View with the self affirming track entitled “Bling Bling”. I said earlier in the campaign you need to watch this man’s light, and how fitting that the theme of “Bling Bling” is all about Jacobi letting his light shine while encouraging you to focus and do the same (and shout out the classic “for the culture” phrase popularized by Cash Money’s B.G like a bonafide hip hop head…) “Imma let my light shine/Imma let my light shine/Every time I come around your city/Bling bling.” On “Bling, Bling”, Jacobi highlights his personal experiences for the had to push through and still be ON “regardless”, which was also his personal mantra and title of the EP that kicked off 2019 right before #52in365 jumped off. On the track, Dr. View teases us with his DJ skills over a soulful sample which culminates into a pleasurable listening experience for those that fiend to hear that element in hip hop songs and not just the feel good production of the song alone
So, remember folks – do you “refuckingardless” and let your light shine. Y’all enjoy and stay tuned for more “Bling, Bling” content this week.
