Jimmy Poindexter

Jimmy Poindexter is a Los Angeles recording artist and producer known for his fearless experimentation and ever-evolving sound. After losing his mother and seeing his father incarcerated, he recorded the WELCOME TO DARKNESS trilogy (2019) in his car while homeless, setting the stage for a career defined by risk-taking. His breakthrough album GNARLY (2021) — blending jazz, gospel, pop, and hip-hop — was entirely self-funded and backed by an ambitious rollout with LA billboards, a plane banner, and a live band concert. He expanded further with *GHETTOLAND (2022), praised for its daring mix of styles and viral single “*UNCULTURED.” Balancing personal projects like DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY (2023) and CRUEL WORLD (2025) with conceptual “character albums” like SHAZAM (2023) and DON’T LOOK BEHIND YOU. (2024), Poindexter has built a reputation as a visionary unafraid to blur genres, narratives, and identities.

I did my whole sappy little post last year about this tan ass album, but it all still applies— once again, thank you to everyone who lent an ear, donated a dollar, bought a CD, illegally ripped it from the internet, it all contributed to a moment in which i'm grateful for 🙂‍↕️

SHAZAM 2 Year Anniversary

two years since jimbolini popped out. this was intended to be my most hip hop album. while all my albums are a fusion of the things I grew up on, I think this one stands out to a specific set of people because they recognized it was mainly 69-minutes of me barrin' niggas up with only hints of other stuff sprinkled in there. also like the rest of my albums, it debuted to mixed feelings (some were saying they prefer *GL to it, I could not disagree more but to each their own) but almost less than a year after it dropped, folks came around to it and privately showed love (even after publicly trashing it) and now it may even be most people's favorite from me so far. so for that, i'm grateful, thank you to everyone who pressed play and continue to. jimbolini does not speak, but he did make a copy of gta 6 appear from nothing when I told 'em the anniversary was today so I'm gonna guess he's thankful to.

2 year anniversary vinyl available now. some items from the shazam collection too for a limited time: shop.jimmypoindexter.com/

A CRUEL Freestyle: https://youtu.be/rSN51ooT_y4

every other album I've dropped verses over other people's beats, new & old to just show a straightforward display of talent— I didn't mean to make it a tradition, it just naturally happened that way— glad y'all are messin' with this one, it's definitely one of them ones
