Video: Jackboy – Spittin Facts

To celebrate his heritage and the Haitian community in his hometown of Pompano Beach, FL, Jackboy shares new music each year on Haitian Flag Day. Last night, he shared “Spittin Facts.” In the video, he’s posted in his apartment with a few friends, rapping in front of a Haitian flag and pleading for his guys to keep the same loyalty he does, “I love my brothers, I hope they love me back.” He continues to name names of former friends who folded on him and spends the last minute shouting out each of his partners individually and what he’d do for them if they needed it. If there’s any loyal friend to have by your side, it’s Jack.

“Spittin Facts” is Jackboy’s first new song since the release of JACKBOY, his new project. 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 project inspired a long list of successful video singles, including clips for “1K” (746k YouTube views since its release last week), “Pack A Punch” (1.2 million views), “Won’t Understand” (2.3 million views), “Cleaning Crew” (3.6 million views), and breakout hit “Pressure” (9.5 million views). Home to the Kodak Black-featuring “Like A Million,” JACKBOY is the artist’s most successful album yet, propelling the rapper to the Top 300 of Rolling Stone’s Artist chart and pushing his Spotify monthly listener count past 1.1 million.
