The Video:
Bobby Brackins, Ty Dolla $ign and Nic Nac are the holy trinity of West Coast songwriting. At the top of the year, they teamed up to release “Faithful,” a club-ready single about temptation. Today, Bobby and Ty spotlight the nightlife of East Oakland in the neon-lit new video for “Faithful,” featuring cameos from Tinashe and G-Eazy. In the FADER-premiered new video, Bobby Brackins convinces a ladyfriend to leave her peacefully sleeping boyfriend to galavant around the hills and tunnels of San Francisco and Oakland under a moonlit sky. Last week, Bobby Brackins and IAMSU shared their “Faithful” New Bay Remix, adding fresh vibes to the infectious song.
This past Friday, the Grammy-nominated songwriter/rapper released To Live For…, the first part of a trilogy of EPs entitled To Live For…, To Kill For…, and To Die For… . To Live For…, features a powerhouse roster of artists Bobby’s worked with over the years as a songwriter including Ty Dolla $ign, Zendaya (for whom he wrote her first hit single, “Swag It Out” in 2011,) Eric Bellinger, Austin Mahone, Jeremih, G-Eazy,Marc E. Bassy, Wash, and his budding artist, Mina.
Co-writing hits including Tinashe‘s “2 On,” Chris Brown‘s “Loyal,” and Ty Dolla $ign’s E-40-assisted“Saved,” Bobby Brackins has proved himself an architect of the new California sound for years. Brackins also reunited with his old tour, DJ Mustard, in late 2015, to co-write “In My Room,” a collaboration with DJ trio Yellow Claw featuring Ty Dolla $ign and Young Money rapper Tyga. Last year, Brackins was featured in Forbes giving insight on his career as a hitmaker and solo artist. Thriving as a writer, rapper, and solo act, Bobby Brackins is ready to step into the spotlight with … To Live For as the first part of his forthcoming 3-part EP, out now.

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 and Jeremih is finally coming into his own. Following high school, Bobby 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 Brackins 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 Brackins 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.
