There’s a word that Meech BOLD<\/strong>‘s<\/strong><\/a> new song “Brockton Boxer” returns to, over and over again: Heavy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Way that I live is heavy \/ Things that I risk is heavy \/ All that I bare is heavy \/ Pardon my hands is heavy” the Brockton emcee raps on the track, which arrived earlier this week (January 13). The word appears over 25 times throughout the lyrics, and for good reason. As Meech BOLD describes in an Instagram post<\/a> about “Brockton Boxer,” he’s witnessed his hometown shouldering the weight of “heavy circumstances . . both fiscally and spiritually.” And he’s ready to help relieve those burdens, starting with calling attention to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As an adult, being a daily figure within the socioeconomic construct of Brockton, I can truly express the needs of a city I believe to be one of a kind — prosperous beyond measure,” he writes. “The various trials I’ve encountered within the last three years alone in the city have only built up a champion spirit.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within that context, the rhythm of “Brockton Boxer” becomes a bit like doing reps at the gym, with the artist growing stronger and more dogged each time he utters “heavy.” The song positions Meech BOLD as a determined citizen who’s still building his community-based work; as he signs off in the aforementioned Instagram post, “I stand on the front lines.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
