Nashville rapperย Itzย Jaleelย presents the 3amedia-directed music video for “Onย Me”, his latest single produced by Michael Belvedere. The song comesย onย the heels of visuals for “Overtime” (watch the video) and “Anyway” (watch the video). Bornย Jaleelย Cunningham,ย Itzย Jaleelย began his journey to rap at an early age. Raisedย onย old school RNB and hip hop, he developed an interest in poetry, “thatโs where I started developing my pen game without even knowing”, saysย Jaleel. What once was a hobby, has now become a career. It was the death of a close relative that propelledย Jaleelย into pursuing rapping as a career. In 2020,ย Jaleelย released his first albumย YOU=MEย (listen to the album). But it wasn’t until his second album titledย S.O.N.ย that the industry started to take notice. Featuring fellow Nashville rapper J, theย S.O.N.ย album (listen to the album) helped the artist gain notoriety thus, pushing him to release his first single track for 2022 โBossinโ Upโ (watch the video).ย Jaleelย says he was inspired to make “Onย Me” after losing his grandfather, “which remindedย meย to not take life and the time I spend with family for granted. Any level of success I reach, my family will be there withย me, because theyโre the reason why I work so hard.”
Itz Jaleel brings some emotional thoughts and feelings to life with the visual for “On Me”. I like to the think that the song serves as a reminder that everyone goes through some hard times but it’s on yourself to stay afloat and don’t drown. Jaleel rides the beat with ease as he takes you on a trip through some things within his life. Watch the visual below.
