Jerome - Global (Prod. Jacko)
Atlanta-based rapper Jerome's single "Global" celebrates how far he's come while not easing up on the throttle either. He also keeps it real and honest, admitting in the lyrics: "I was rapping about materials and shit so pathetic. I was talking like I'm better than the listener, thought that shit was good for me but it just kept me prisoner. Yeah I hope you understand that when you feelin' insecure, not a single person on this planet has your signature, not a single person on this planet has a story like yours, these haters gonna try and knock you but don't fall to the floors."
The song comes as he recently celebrated 188k monthly listeners on Spotify, saying on Twitter: "that is insane to me. I remember being at 10,000 and celebrating because I remembered what it was like to have 100. If you have ever streamed my music, thank you." The track has a potent lofi sound with a relentless urban beat thanks to production from Jacko.
