Jeremiah Pickett AKA Baang is the type of hip hop artist whose art has the unique ability to evoke multi-layered and complex emotions. A Northwest Arkansas native, he grew up with a deep passion for words and storytelling, which naturally evolved into a love for music and production.
His name is an acronym for Believe, Aspire, Achieve, Now Go, which should tell you enough about the drive and energy he puts behind everything he does. Driven by his love for fostering a community, Jeremiah curates events that spotlight local talent and bring people together through music. His performances captivate with raw lyricism and flow, telling stories of his life, and those without a voice, leaving listeners inspired to Believe, Aspire, Achieve, and (now) Go.
Today's highlight - "Back Around" is part of his new 5-track mixtape. I loved the laid-back guitar chords in the background and the rather smooth, warm energy of the instrumental. That, however, doesn't mean his delivery and lyrics aren't charged. Listen carefully, and you'll find inspiration, creativity and motivation.
