Jackboy Retreats to the Tropics for Prayerful Contemplation in “Far From Average” Video
Inspired by Toussaint L’Ouverture, Haiti’s Revolutionary Hero, Jackboy’s New Album Finds Him at the Top of His Game, Mixing Snapping Flows and Heartfelt Melodies Over Lush Instrumentals
Jackboy‘s new album I Can’t Do No Wrong provides a triumphant and introspective into the ups and downs of the Florida rapper’s life. The well-traveled Pompano Beach native continues to trot the globe, sharing the new video for “Far From Average,” a I Can’t Do No Wrong highlight. Produced by OMGZANOZA, “Far From Average” layers ecstatic choirs over mournful pianos, providing a lush bed for Jackboy to describe what separates him from regular joes: “Takin’ trips way to Dubai to buy my b*tch Chanel, yeah/I’m a different type of guy, no it ain’t hard to tell, ay,” he spits. In the video, Jackboy travels to an exclusive Saudi Arabian resort in the Red Sea, relaxing in an over-water bungalow and partaking in his daily prayers.
The album’s opening track, “Far From Average” sets the tone for I Can’t Do No Wrong, Jackboy’s first new album since 2024. Spanning 17 tracks, I Can’t Do No Wrong captures Jackboy at a new creative peak: wiser, sharper, and more intentional than ever, bringing snapping flows and soaring melodies to express his every emotion. As described in songs like “In God’s Hands” and in a recent interview with REVOLT’s Big Facts Podcast, Jackboy has changed his life to reflect his new circumstances, converting to Islam and embracing his role as a family man, community leader, and label CEO. The album’s artwork combines the logo of Jackboy’s label, 1804 Records, with the visage of Toussaint L’Ouverture, the revolutionary hero of Haiti, the land of Jackboy’s heritage. Jackboy embraces L’Ouverture as a symbol of constant struggle, who was instrumental in liberating Haiti in 1804, sparking the ire of the European colonial powers.
I Can’t Do No Wrong is home to Jackboy’s recent singles, including the fierce “Hussle Like Nipsey” and “Derek Fisher,” a collaboration with fellow Floridian C Glizzy, and the starkly emotional “Heartbroken.” The album is populated with glistening instrumentals from producers like CBeezeOnDaBeat, who had a hand in over 1/3 of the album’s tracks, with additional contributions from heavy-hitters like frequent Rod Wave collaborator SephGotTheWaves and the Bay Area sound architect ReeceBeats. Jackboy trades country-fried bars with fellow Floridian Jayy Wick on “Gatekeep,” and offers dispatches from his world travels on songs like “Seoul.” I Can’t Do No Wrong is available on all platforms via 1804 Records / EMPIRE.
Though he has generated over 1 billion cross-platform streams in the bank, and earned a GOLD record in the form of 2020’s “Pressure,” Jackboy still feels like he has plenty to prove. I Can’t Do No Wrong re-establishes Jackboy as one of his home state’s most vital emcees.
