Jackson Wang Drops New Self-Titled Song

By Nefertiti Jenkins

Rapper Jackson Wang has returned with a new release. The GOT7 former JYP Entertainment artist from Hong Kong dropped his new self-titled single with an animated visual on January 11. Before the release, Wang tweeted "Who I am. What I wanna do. Everything about my life here in this song."

In the music video, we see an animated visual of Wang, as he walks mostly alone on a sidewalk and sings..."Taking my path step by step, it ain't so bad. When you get to it, it ain't so sad." He then goes on to share his story, as he raps about leaving home at the age of 17, as a fencing champion, in 2011 to start a career in the music industry in South Korea as a KPOP entertainer. He also raps he was homesick after arriving in South Korea, but found a Chinese restaurant, where the owner comforted him.  

After the release of the single, Wang posted on Instagram....

"This is me. Jackson Wang 王嘉尔 I’ve always wanted a song 100% about me. No filter, not commercial, literally nothing in between. A song when I look back after 20+ years feeling like it was a good memory. Thank you guys for being with me."

Jackson Wang is now a solo artist based in China. He's the founder of the record label Team Wang, and his hip-hop supergroup - PANTHEPACK. Check out his new song below.

The first interview was for the March 7th face to face with rapper Snacky Chan for Chan's YouTube series - "Undergod."   The second was for American rapper Dumbfoundead's March 20th (ep. 31) podcast of "Fun With Dumb."
