Ben Bacardi Earns "Song of the Year - Hip Hop" Nomination at the 2025Josie Music Awards
About the Song: "LifeAgain"
"Life Again" features fellow Queens artists Pelle and H, and hits that sweet spot between gritty nostalgia and modern vulnerability. Think Jay Z meets Nas meets Wu-Tang, but layered with raw, personal bars about rebuilding from the bottom up. The track dives deep into themes of renewal, depression, and growth-delivering a message that resonates far beyond the five boroughs.
The music video, released in April, brings that message to life with visuals that mirror Ben's transformation. It's not just a music video-it's a short film about survival.

From Fresh Meadows to the Grand Ole Opry
Ben Bacardi was born and raised in Fresh Meadows, Queens, and is as entrepreneurial as he is lyrical-balancing his rap career with running a successful home inspection business in NYC. After battling anxiety and depression, music became more than a creative outlet-it became his therapy. That journey led to his debut EP Prescription to Rap , over 100 new tracks, and collaborations with Queens legends like Royal Flush, Pelle, and Boots.
About the Josie Music Awards
Founded in 2015, the Josie Music Awards is the largest independent music award show in the world. Spanning every genre-from country and rock to hip hop and soul-the JMAs honor standout independent artists, bands, and songwriters each fall in Nashville, TN.
This year's event takes place November 1-2, 2025 at the Belle Air Mansion and the legendary Grand Ole Opry House.
Why This Nomination Matters
Getting nominated for Song of the Year - Hip Hop is no small feat. In 2024, that honor went to Nige B for "Hold Your Heart (Remix)," showing just how competitive the category is.
Ben's nomination isn't just a personal win-it's a recognition of his voice in the culture. His journey, grit, and storytelling all shine through "Life Again," and the independent music world is clearly paying attention.
