Following the release of his powerful debut album Rockett 88, Young Jimmy returns to the airwaves with his latest single ‘Heavy. Feat Kam Franklin’. The release marks the first of the year for Young Jimmy as he lends his hand once again to fierce instrumentation and unforgiving poetry.

Bursting into action with an emphatic drum fill and whirling organ lines, ‘Heavy.’ wastes no time in cutting cathartic grooves for his deep home truths. Roaring across the airwaves with sharp lyricisms about those who have crossed him, Young Jimmy takes a no-holds-barred approach to music-making as he launches into his unique brand of hood rock. The single takes the building blocks of The Beatles’ ‘I Want You (She’s So Heavy)’ as it transforms the sixties hit into an ethereal, cathartic foundation for slick rhymes and a solid flow. Featuring the vocals of Texas-born Kam Franklin, ‘Heavy.’ also draws in gospel-tinged soundscapes as the dramatic wall of sound pushes forward.

Discussing the release, Kam Franklin explains, The record is a diss track against my enemies, haters and music industry professionals who I have personal beef with. Inspired by classic rock music, I've been working on the song since 2020 making this the last song of the 'Rockett 88’ recordings. I met Kam Franklin in the summer of 2023 and recorded her vocals soon after in Maine before finishing the track at The Cutting Room in NYC. The song is a brutal evil track directed at my opps. With twirling organs, roaring guitars, disrespectful war-like lyrics, and haunting vocals soaring over everything.
