Los Angeles-based recording artist JIMMY has shared another new single in promotion of his previous three projects DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY, *GHETTOLAND & GNARLY. This comes after the release of his previous singles "YOU NOT ME," "CASH COW" and a remix of Kendrick Lamar & Baby Keem's track "The Hillbillies." Check out the new song, written, produced & performed by JIMMY.
In this latest installment to the Generational Talent (or GENNY-T) Era, JIMMY shares what he believes will happen if the current state of socio-economics don't align with the desires of the general public. Within two verses, he paints a picture of corporations being burned to the ground in retaliation to feeling inferior to a wealthy class who exploit their labor. At one point, JIMMY also zooms in on how someone like Tyler Perry would potentially feel if that day were to come. Because Tyler Perry is an African American man who is now a wealthy conglomerate owner but was also on the other side of the fence at point, this hypothetical situation makes for an interesting talking point. The production on the track is laid-back and gives JIMMY all the space to get his point across without distraction. The title of the track is an ironic spin on former U.S. Pres. Donald Trump's slogan "Make America Great Again," which fueled a bigoted agenda in America.The title highlights how the only way America could improve and be "great again" is if it was destroyed and rebuilt with disadvantaged communities in mind.
As tension continues to rise in America, more and more media (including music) have started to reflect that bubbling outrage. With topics like the WGA & SAG-AFTRA strikes in Hollywood, the monopolization of music streaming & social media platforms, inflation and a looming recession, it's no surprise JIMMY has shared a glimpse of what could happen if these factors don't begin to align with creating a more equal and peaceful human experience. We can expect more tracks like this to drop as he prepares to share a new string of singles and a new TV show in the next upcoming weeks. This continues to be a big year for JIMMY.
JIMMY's ambitious follow-up album DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY was released on April 14th following the release of the trailer on his Instagram and the announcement of the release date and cover art. He also shared a new website bearing the same name. Coming off the successful self-release of his previous album *GHETTOLAND back in December, JIMMY hopes to complete the mission he started and establish himself as a notable artist. JIMMY teased the name of DWMYH in the fourth episode of his docuseries TV show "*GHETTOLAND". Read the latest review of DWMYH here. Check out the song below.
