Bobby Bodega breaks the silence with "Gravity"

Following a four-year hiatus, Bronx-born artist Bobby Bodega is back with Gravity, a haunting, emotion-charged track that signals the reemergence of a storyteller who's lived, grieved, and healed in silence. "Gravity" is the first page in a deeply personal series of singles documenting Bodega's life from childhood to now.

The production is eerie but down-to-earth, providing a space where pain is analyzed, sat with, and eventually transformed into wisdom. Bobby's voice is slow and earnest, cutting through the grain of the beat in a way that suggests he's had to say things out loud to keep himself sane.

"Gravity" has a refrain that reverberates like a prayer or curse and stays with you long. It's a reminder of the round-and-round so many in life try and fail, to hop off. Love, trauma, and the streets. Bobby isn't merely indicating the patterns but resides in them and dares to speak on them.

Within a handful of verses, Bodega goes from facing systemic oppression to reflecting on community struggle from the lingering cloud of drug culture to the shattered promises of technology and even to how AI will change the music game. It's busy but never overreaching somewhere between a journal entry in a history book's margins.

"Gravity" is the track that sits with you, nudges you on the shoulder when you are alone, and compels you to press play once more to pick up the truths you'd overlooked the first time. If this is how the story begins for Bobby Bodega, then there's something honest, heavy, human about it.
