Jimmy Poindexter has shared a new song titled 'COUNTED OUT.' The self-produced single comes with a music video directed by himself, in which he sings about being an underdog that's left out of the conversation for seemingly no reason despite working just as hard as everyone else over heartfelt piano keys. The camera focuses only on Jimmy's eyes, which appear to be heavy & weary adding to the earnest theme. Check it out below.

"COUNTED OUT" follows Jimmy Poindexter's recent headlines about reaching out to the teams of Vince Staples, Zack Fox, Charlie Wilson and more. Another headline read that he also has reached out to A&Rs from nearly every record label with RCA Records being his top pick. These were followed by the news that he officially changed his artist name from JIMMY to his full real name Jimmy Poindexter.

In 2023, Jimmy stayed busy all year releasing and promoting his Jazz-inspired album DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY and his Hip Hop-centered album SHAZAM, showcasing his unique and consistent work ethic. He ended up seeing success with both LPs reaching over 750k combined streams across platforms, as well as his 2022 release *GHETTOLAND reaching over 1.5 million streams alone — career high for the underdog.
