After taking a hiatus following the pandemic that took a heavy toll on the music world as much as any other industry, he is back and better than before!
“Don’t Drop The Ball Freestyle” already has over two million plays on Apple Music and was featured on one of the most globally revered hip-hop platforms, The Joe Budden Podcast, highlighting its genuine authenticity and rawness that resonates with personal appeal.
A tour de force that borrows inspiration from Jesse Is Heavyweight’s journey, all the adversities and doubts he had to overcome, proving himself worthy in an industry that wasn’t so welcoming and more often than not looked down on him, “Don’t Drop The Ball” is an empowering jam and an ode to perseverance, resilience, and determination to outshine your adversities and setbacks and forge a successful path for yourself no matter what, hence the refrain, “Don’t drop the ball.”
