I'm super late on my morning coffee today, but before I devour that energy source, I needed a proper soundtrack and Bobby J From Rockaway came to the rescue.

Blending boombap beats with old school hip hop vibes, the Queens rapper is definitely someone to keep an eye on. That unique sound is no coincidence. Bobby was born and raised in New York during the 90s. His mother was a huge classic rock fan, listening to bands like the Eagles, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Steely Dan. His father, being from Detroit, was big into Motown, funk and soul, but was also a fan of the more eclectic/new wave music of that time like the Talking Heads, Devo and Genesis, and his older brother Eric was an MTV junkie, listening to everything from grunge to hip hop.

Now imagine mixing this all together into the perfect hip hop track. "Let Me Breathe" wins on every level.
