The only word that can fully encompass Jodeci Santana’s music is ‘moody.’ One minute, the Inland Empire native is rapping about the extravagance of life, surrounded by friends and beautiful women; the next, he drowns his vocals to enhance the emotion behind his perilous love life. Although these are two very different scenarios and sounds, one truth remains: we’re entering the world of Jodeci Santana. The compilation project Jodeci Act 1 served as a major platform release of popular songs previously exclusive to SoundCloud, such as ‘Infinity,’ ‘Tranquility,’ ‘Bby Charisma,’ ‘Moody Freestyle,’ and ‘Model Girls’ featuring frequent collaborator Jobarr. With the release of ‘I Can Only Be Myself,’ Jodeci Santana aims not only to provide a cohesive introduction for new listeners but also connect with them by putting his heart on his sleeve.
