Rap is a genre that stands the test of time and becomes a calling card against government overreach. In such a uncertain time for immigration, rapper Josh Jacobs is ready for his spotlight with, "LANDfill." Hailing from the birthplace of Hip Hop, Jacobs shows his craft is just as great as the legends. Using clever wordplay and sharp imagery, Jacobs shines a harsh and bright light on America's social landscape. "LANDfill" is one of the singles from Jacobs' new album, Mis Ancestros Dijeron. In line with the album, the single reflects on Jacobs' upbringing and a way to craft a compelling story dear to his heart.
The rapper doesn't mince words when picking his target, the MAGA movement and the government. "They don't care about gun control / So the clip get emptied," Jacobs raps with sights set on the lackluster involvement from the government. The Puerto Rican infused track adds flair for the weight of a flow that would make many do a double take. The hard knocking artist isn't playing nice with his lyrics but cautions against his fellow Hispanics going against their roots.
One of the main running points in "LANDfill" is Jacobs feeling like his community is losing their identity going with President Trump's latest immigration policies. In a time where being outspoken could find yourself face to face with ICE, Josh Jacobs speaks with his chest and doesn't back down.
While "LANDfill" functions as a topical rapid fire summer rap hit, Jacobs makes sure the message doesn't get lost among all the heat. In tow with Josh Jacobs is fellow rapper Kon Boogie. Picking up where Jacobs left off, Boogie keeps in tone with confrontal flow. "LANDfill" serves two purposes in reflecting a tragic state of America while giving Jacobs the space to reclaim his roots and let loose.
Mis Ancestros Dijeron is available now on all music platforms.
