Responsible for co-writing two of the summer’s inescapable hits, Chris Brown’s “Loyal” and Tinashe’s “2 On,” rapper/songwriter Bobby Brackins is supercharging his solo career with his release of the video for “Hot Box,” featuring G-Eazy and Mila J. Billboard premiered the video, which follows Bobby romping around an intimate house party with Mila J and a handful of her closest friends. The song, which was produced by RedWine and featured by LA’s Power 106 as a Song of the Week, has already surpassed 1.3M plays on SoundCloud and has The FADER calling it “a perfect weekender,” and The Smoking Section claiming it has “such an addictive bounce, repeat listens happen without intention.”

Through the massive success of the track, Brackins launched himself into the top 10 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists Chart. “Hot Box” illustrates Bobby’s tenacity for songwriting and ability to cross seamlessly into the pop rap world while still maintaining his East Oakland roots. On referencing the creation of the track Bobby reflects, “‘Hot Box’ has been popping off in parties and functions. It sounds amazing in the car. People are going to pre-party and cruise to it and play it when then are in the mood to have a good time. People are going to start understanding that my sound is what has generated a lot of what’s working on the radio. I’m excited to put out my new music. I was behind the scenes for a while now it’s time to get it poppin’ for myself.”

Brackins’ songwriting credit for Chris Brown’s platinum hit “Loyal,” recently earned him a BMI award.  With over 25 million YouTube plays, and international radio spins to his credit, the established soloist has written for and collaborated with a litany of artists including Ty Dolla $ign, YG, Iamsu!, Trey Songz, Jeremih, and Zendaya. When reflecting on his incredible career Bobby states, “People are seeing my name more and more, and they’re giving me a little more credit. I’m excited about dropping my own music and giving people the awareness that I’ve helped mold the new West Coast sound.”

The Background:

Amidst a wave of self-made songwriters, artists and producers, Oakland, California’s Bobby Brackins is at the forefront. With over 25 million YouTube plays, and international radio spins, the established soloist who has written a litany of artists including Zendaya, Trey Songz, and Jeremih is finally coming into his own. Following high school, Brackins relocated to Los Angeles alongside his producer and close friend, Nic Nac. “I wanted to keep making music with Nic, and I knew that L.A. was more industry-based. That’s where the labels and well-connected managers were,” Bobby states. Taking advantage of the web early on to brand himself the artist has had a slew of success working with countless artists which led to Bobby penning and co-producing a #1 record for Chris Brown in “Loyal,” as well as helping Tinashe find the traction necessary to earn a major label album release date with her lead single, “2 On.” The credit is there, is as the chart and viral reaction, assuring the world that Bobby Brackins has his pen, production, and pulse on the people.
