No, your eyes are not deceiving you. Eddy Puyol really did drop two visuals for his latest “Everything I Got” single.

One is a traditional music video that highlights a husband/wife beach date to catch the sunrise on nearby Singer Island. The other is a remix of the song and accompanying visuals set to a Solomon Jabby “dub” version of the track.

Both were shot and edited by frequent collaborator and well-known videographer Will Thomas.

Eddy Puyol’s “Everything I Got” is a cross between Bob Marley’s “Is This Love” and Sean Paul’s “I’m Still in Love with You.” While the original hits all the right notes to give listeners a solid and relaxed reggae vibe, fellow artist/believer Solomon Jabby decided to give it a dub version remix that takes it to a different level.

Though dub remixes are largely instrumental, they have the unique ability to shine a laser on some of the best parts of a song while dropping back others. Solomon Jabby’s Dub Version of “Everything I Got” has the horns, bass, the lead vocals and backgrounds shining in their own light.

“I love both versions of the song so much I couldn’t just make a video for one of them,” Puyol said. “Will caught the vision too so we just decided to craft and release an alternate version so people can enjoy their favorite or just decide to watch whichever one fits their mood at the moment.”

“Everything I Got” is a part of Puyol’s latest album, Nothing Changed But My Stage Name, and available on your favorite digital service provider platforms (Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, YouTube, etc.) and Eddy Puyol social media sites.

There have been a handful of iconic performances of “The Star-Spangled Banner” throughout the years.

It’s a challenging song, but one that most artists, at some point in their career, attempt to tackle.

The latest comes from Eddy Puyol – a multi-genre recording artist whose discography includes reggae, spoken word, and worship. For his version of the national anthem, Puyol chose a hip hop/pop blend to spice up Francis Scott Key’s prose.

The track includes a drum cadence and Puyol’s soulful croon of the unadulterated lyrics.

“I know that when some people hear the words ‘hip hop’ and ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ in the same sentence their eyebrows immediately get raised,” Puyol said. “But this is the language of today so I felt it was only right to put this spin on our nation’s most treasured tune that would showcase, not only my love for hip hop, but for our country as a whole.”

Puyol noted that he comes from a family of Cuban immigrants who sought refuge in the Land of Free and that he is extremely proud of his country. This version is simply merging the cultures he loves and lives and offers a fresh take on a song many may take for granted simply because it is so familiar to them.

Puyol’s version was brought to life by Chuck Hemann – longtime friend and producer that worked on his latest album (Nothing Changed But My Stage Name) as well as his Grammy-recognized No Ordinary Love project and more.

Puyol, who shares a birthday with the United States of America, hopes listeners will see the patriot inside of his performance – whether it is on record, at a live event, or a televised athletic competition.

“This song is really special to me and I look forward to rockin’ it in stadiums and arenas around our great country,” he said.

Multi-genre recording artist Eddy Puyol’s next performance will be during Family Night at the South Florida Fair on January 28. The event, sponsored by Pulse Evangelism, will see him take the stage alongside ministers like Nick Hall and singer Ben Fuller.

All of which got Puyol thinking about his earlier “providential” meeting with Christian music legend Chris Tomlin that helped set off his own, ground-breaking Hip Hop Worship career nearly two decades ago.

The year: 2006

The location: The Gospel Music Awards in Nashville, Tennessee

Back then, the GMA’s (or Dove Awards) were dominated by Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) and didn’t really embrace rap the way they do today. As a result, members of the hip hop community who were in town and still wanted to network established their own showcases to help expose their art to industry executives and gatekeepers who could bring it to new audiences.

Puyol, then known by the moniker Rawsrvnt, was on one of those showcases and nearing the end of a high-energy set of “crunk” rap records when he cut his song “Get ‘Em Up” short and told the crowd he wanted to switch things up and do something different.

As the showcase DJ followed along, Puyol transitioned into his take on the CCM hit “Holiness.”

 
Infinity Music Group President Brad Mathias was in the audience to scout new talent and told Flavor Fest founder/pastor Tommy “Urban D” Kyllonen that he heard enough hip-hop for the night and started leaving, but the minute Puyol played “Holiness” he turned around to listen. Mathias then tapped Tommy on the shoulder and said, “Who’s that guy?”

Kyllonen smiled and introduced the two as soon as the set was over. It was there that Mathias offered to distribute the In Rare Form album that Puyol’s “Holiness” cover song was on – an album that began to break open more opportunities within the genre for artists to perform this type of “hip hop / worship” hybrid for believers and non-believers alike.

The next day Puyol was at the airport waiting to fly home when he spotted Chris Tomlin sitting alone eating breakfast. He’d just won a bunch of Dove Awards and Puyol went to congratulate him.

Eddy was invited to take a seat and began telling Tomlin his vision of bridging the gap between the church and the streets and using hip hop to do it.

Tomlin told Puyol he just might be the right guy for the job.

Fast-forward to 2013 when DJ Promote was a featured part of Tomlin’s “Burning City Lights” tour and opened up every night with Puyol’s “Take It All” mashup with the Black Eyed Peas hit “I Gotta Feeling.”

When the tour came to West Palm Beach, Florida Puyol went to hang with Promote and ran into Chris Tomlin again backstage where he reminded the artist of the airport conversation they had in 2006.

Tomlin told Puyol he remembered that day and what they discussed as it seemed to be coming to fruition with the inclusion of a hip hop DJ on his team and using songs like Puyol’s to get the evening started.

“It’s crazy how God works things out,” Puyol now recalls. “I opened up for Chris Tomlin without even being on stage. Talk about the power of music and God’s faithfulness.”
