Dublin-born hip-hop maestro Bobby Basil (AKA Isaac Nelson) is back with a back with his latest single, "I’ll Die First", a poignant and introspective piece that showcases the artist's deep emotional journey and spiritual awakening.

Accompanying the new single is compelling music video, shot entirely in black and white and laden with spiritual imagery.

Since bursting onto the music scene in 2014, Bobby Basil has captivated audiences with his unique blend of Caribbean influences and raw, honest lyricism. Inspired by his own experiences and fuelled by a newfound commitment to sobriety and faith, Bobby has solidified his place as one of hip-hop's unique voices.

'I’ll Die First' serves as the title track for Basil's highly anticipated forthcoming album, slated for release later this year. The single, characterised by its dusty nostalgic alternative hip-hop vibe, features Bobby's charismatic delivery and introspective lyrics, inviting listeners into his world of longing and self-discovery.

A Hot Press Y & E alum, Basil describes "I’ll Die First" as "a suicide letter to God", a cathartic purge of the old self to make way for a new beginning in the name of Jesus Christ.

The track's catchy guitar sample underscores the emotional depth and sincerity of Bobby's message, setting the stage for a soul-stirring musical experience. Accompanying the single is an equally captivating self-directed music video, further enhancing the immersive storytelling of "I’ll Die First."

Reflecting on the inspiration behind the track, Bobby shares, "I created this track in my mate’s studio drunk off whiskey after six months of being sober and a dedicated Christian."

This raw authenticity permeates throughout the song, offering listeners a genuine glimpse into Bobby's journey of self-discovery and redemption.
