Bobby Bodega defies the pull in “Gravity”

The weirdo rapper Bobby Bodega is back with “Gravity,” a confession-heavy hip-hop track that knocks harder than most. It’s his first release since 2021, and his fans will say it was well worth the wait. With a voice hardened by loss and a pen soaked in reflection, Bodega welcomes you to a deeply personal room, working through grief, growth, and the hidden weights with which everyone becomes entangled.

‘Gravity’ is not just a comeback but a book (chapter one). The first in a series of singles that will track Bobby’s life from the cradle to the present, this track establishes the mood with fearless honesty. You can feel the tension between holding on and letting go, between what pulls and lifts us down.

For those who like their hip-hop raw and reflective, the kind that doesn’t talk about pain but mulls over it, “Gravity” is essential. It’s made in the image of artists unafraid to put themselves on the line, and it sits squarely in that rare sweet spot between the personal and the universal. This is the sound of an artist returning and reintroducing himself with purpose. Bobby Bodega is not out here chasing fly-by-night trends; he’s building a legacy. 

“Gravity” is a perfect mix of exposed production and cutting lyrics, with no gimmicks, no fluff. The beat rides low and slow, leaving room for Bobby’s words to breathe and sting. His delivery is deliberate without being self-conscious, drawing on the ­low-key authority of someone who’s made it through and lived to recount the tale. “Gravity” belongs alongside these other strong voices in hip-hop. With plenty more music on the horizon for the rest of the year, Bobby Bodega is set to make 2025 his most introspective and heartfelt yet.
