In a musical era saturated with sameness, listeners have been craving, indeed begging for, something new and different. The fact that there are so many emerging artists has not helped the situation. In fact, authenticity has become elusive as artists jump on trends and copy others, completely sacrificing authenticity for fame, clout, numbers, and mainstream appeal. But at what expense? That’s some food for thought right there. For Jesse Is Heavyweight, born and bred in South Oak, Texas, none of this has gone unnoticed as he keeps a close eye on the proceedings, eventually coming up with an answer; him!

For many of his loyal fans who have never left his side, they know what he brings to the table, especially when it comes to hip-hop and rap. Instead of merely emulating his predecessors, he has forged a unique style and strength within first-class rapping, one of the many things that hip-hop fanatics find likeable and relatable. After a hiatus forced by the pandemic that disrupted the industry, he returns, reinvigorated, ready to revitalize the evolving hip-hop genre.

Fans could not have envisioned a better comeback track than “Don’t Drop the Ball Freestyle” which has put Jesse on the headlines once again, earning critical applause from industry titans such as Joe Budden in his famous The Joe Budden Podcast.

“Don’t Drop The Ball” has Jesse lyrically exploring his journey to becoming the self-made artist and entrepreneur he is today. While the journey has been far from easy, one thing he did not do was give up or give in to the pressure to quit. The emphasis is on the line, “Don’t drop the ball…” as he encourages a listener to keep moving despite the seemingly inevitable setbacks that are expected along the way. After all, no one said it was going to be easy!

The smooth hip-hop production ideally complements his distinctive vocals, showcasing his infectious knack for melody, delivering some intellectual firepower with the maturity, calmness, and sagacity of someone who was absolutely born for this.

The music video is out and perfectly supplements the song, both in storyline and symbolism. It is uncomplicated and visually striking, elevating the track to new heights and proving its worth every second.
