Controversial Jacksonville rapper Foolio dropped new visuals yesterday for his 2019 single “Lifestyle.”
The video comes a day after the release of another new song, “Bukk Got Me Stuck,” which already received video treatment towards the end of January. That clip has been viewed over 275K times to date with close to 9K likes.

“Born Charles Jones, Jacksonville rapper Foolio has a lived a life that belies his moniker. Losing 15 friends to violence before the age of 20, and almost losing his own life when he himself was shot as a teenager, Foolio has the perspective and maturity of a much older man.”
While Foolio has been caught up in some well-documented street beefs over the years–often with other Jacksonville rappers–it looks as if he’s trying to turn a new leaf and embrace his vast potential to succeed in the music industry. He dropped a heartfelt comment on his Instagram just yesterday which acknowledges the difficulty in transitioning from the streets to the industry:

“If i die or go to jail I apologize to all of y’all 💔💔 transitioning from The streets to the industry has been a major steppingstone in my career and I’m proud to say that I am willing to change and leave everything alone I want to win and make my family proud and keep my dead friends names alive 💔💔 I love you all and without y’all this wouldn’t be possible💔 FOREVER 6️.”
The audio for both new videos can be found on various digital streaming platforms including Apple Music and Spotify.
