FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (BRONX, NY) – Labeled one of the most coveted artists of 2022
by Disrupt Magazine, Dominican-American rapper LightUpp has released a steady stream of
music and videos over the years that have received a healthy heap of recognition and airplay
from major platforms including Hot 97, Power 105.1, and REVOLT TV.
The video for his catchy single “Ricky Bobby” is a self-directed and self-edited masterpiece
that displays LightUpp in an out-of-this-world desert setting, sitting on top of a copper
bronze BMW i8 and rapping about the hustle and struggles it took to achieve the trappings
of success in the rap world. The trippy, 360° degree video further shows LightUpp standing
and rapping on top of what appears to be a planet of his own creation – perhaps an
implication that he is a one-of-a-kind artist with otherworldly talent.
The video has already garnered over 15,000 views on Youtube since its release and
showcases the Bronx artist’s creativity and self-sufficiency as he ascends in the
music world. One can only hope that he stays equally grounded and down-to-earth
as his star continues to rise.
