Video: Jackboy – Lost Ties

Jackboy could make any subject matter uniquely his own. On “Lost Ties,” Jackboy reflects on his past and enjoys the come up, which isn’t new territory in rap, but Jack switches from melodic singing to a locked-in flow with fervish intensity that can’t be duplicated, rapping, “when I was posted at that corner store/I ain’t think I’d make it this far/But I did, b****.” In the video, Jack enjoys the fruits of his labor: Dior Homme sneakers, stacks on stacks on stacks of $$$, and bougie, organic snacks on his private jet like “Hippeas,” skinny popcorn, and veggie sticks.
