From Gary, Indiana, Willie Bobo is a versatile artist and the creative director of TalaNation/4skee Ent. With a raw, authentic sound that reflects lived experiences and his worldview, he is more than just an emcee but a wordsmith who effortlessly blurs the lines between rapper and artistry. Unshackled from genre stereotypes and conventions, his sound is as diverse as it gets—mirroring that old-school nostalgia as much as contemporary storytelling to bridge the gap between the old-school grit of early 2000s hip-hop and the modern-day essence. That is what has kept him relevant all these years, as he finds a way to appeal to all generations whilst staying ahead of the curve with good music with replay value. For anyone out there who feels fed up with the cookie-cutter rap soundscapes dominating the mainstream wave, he is an artist you can give a chance and experience something not only unique but also accessible.
Willie Bobo is now gearing up for the release of one of his most personal and emotionally charged records to date. Titled “Time With You (Letter to Breezy Tala),” this poignant track serves as a tribute to his longtime friend Breezy Tala, who passed away. Scheduled for release on April 18th—Breezy Tala’s birthday—the song captures the raw emotions of grief, remembrance, and the longing for just one more moment together.
The track features a mellifluent guitar intro that immediately sets a mellow and reflective tone; Willie Bobo weaves his pain and memories into poetic verses, backed by a modest yet deeply nostalgic hip-hop production. The stripped-back approach allows his words to take center stage, carrying listeners through his journey of loss, love, and tribute.
His delivery is raw, emotional, and hopeful as he blends that poignant pain of losing someone you loved and grew up with an uplifting tone of hoping that perhaps they are at peace wherever they are. His words come from his heart and soul as he vividly paints a picture of pain and reminiscence.
This track is for his longtime friend Breezy, but it is also for anyone who has ever lost someone they love. With his heartfelt delivery, he wishes that someone will find solace in the music as he expresses what it feels like to wish for more time, to hold onto the memories, and to hope that their loved one has found peace on the other side.
Known for his ability to paint vivid emotions through lyricism, Willie Bobo delivers a track that is both intimate and universally relatable. The vulnerability in his voice, coupled with the song’s melancholic yet comforting vibe, ensures “Time With You (Letter to Breezy Tala)” will resonate deeply with listeners who have experienced the pain of losing someone close.
“Time With You (Letter to Breezy Tala)” is a musical eulogy, a love letter, and a powerful reflection on loss and healing that is more than guaranteed to resonate with anyone who has ever felt the sting of losing someone they loved dearly.
What also makes it super special is that it will be debuting on what would have been Breezy Tala’s special day—his birthday, which falls on April 18th.
To keep up with Willie Bobo’s artistry, follow him everywhere and be on the lookout for new music from him as he continues on his trailblazing sonic journey, winning hearts and souls one song at a time.
