JIM LEGXACY UNVEILS ‘FATHER’ AS A POWERFUL NEW CHAPTER IN BLACK BRITISH MUSIC 2025

Feb 27

Jim Legxacy kicks off his 2025 with father, a track that sets a bold tone for his upcoming project, black british music (2025).

After months of teasers, the song’s demand skyrocketed, with the latest snippet racking up over a million views across his socials. Now, it’s finally here, and it’s a bold step towards his upcoming project, black british music (2025).

Unlike the introspective tone of ‘nothings changed (!)’ and the raw energy of ‘aggressive’, ‘father’ is an electrified, euphoric outpouring of confidence. Built around a sample of I Love My Father by George Smallwood, the track blends chaotic energy with precise production, featuring additional work from YT. The accompanying video, directed by Lauzza, brings the song’s intensity to life.

At its core, ‘father’ is personal. The artwork, featuring a photo of Jim’s dad, sets the tone for a track that unpacks his teenage years, navigating South East London without a father figure. It’s a reflection of resilience, shaped by the ever-changing personal, socio-political, and musical landscapes that have influenced his sound. His genre-blurring approach remains unmatched, pulling from R&B, soul, grime, midwest emo, afrobeats, and alternative.

Jim Legxacy’s rise hasn’t just been about music, it’s been about survival. From dropping his early projects Dynasty and Citadel while facing homelessness to the critically acclaimed 2023 mixtape Homeless Ngga Pop Music*, he’s built a sound and story that resonates.

Alongside his musical releases, Jim continues to host his monthly NTS Radio residency. The next episode of BBM with Jim Legxacy airs on March 21. Expect more surprises as he gears up for black british music (2025)
