Dublin’s own Bobby Basil, also known by his birth name Isaac Nelson, is making waves once again with his release, “I’ll Die First.” This track marks a milestone in his career and delves deeply into his personal transformation and spiritual rebirth.
Bobby first made his mark in 2014, introducing a style steeped in Caribbean rhythms fused with unfiltered lyrical expressions. His music, often drawn from personal hardships and triumphs, has resonated with a wide audience, securing his role as a distinguished voice in the hip-hop arena.
The new single, “I’ll Die First,” is the lead release from his eagerly awaited album due to drop later this year. The song is a blend of alternative hip-hop with a touch of nostalgia, highlighted by Bobby’s engaging lyrical flow and reflective themes that draw the listener into his inner world of renewal and yearning.
The track is layered with a memorable guitar riff that complements the emotional and authentic tone of the lyrics. A visually striking music video accompanies the song, co-directed by Megan Robinson and Bobby Basil.
