Jackson is currently performing in ‘The Mountaintop’ alongside Angela Bassett and after a matinee performance of the play he got the mandatory “Happy Birthday” group song from the cast and crew…. and his close friend Reverend Al Sharpton.
Jackson (a graduate of Morehouse College) is an honorary ATLien and he’s been the lone voice responsible for getting Falcons fans on their feet each home game by yelling RISE UP!… now Jackson is joined in the spot by a few more recognizable ATL favorites…
I love this song and if you’re like me, listening to it with earphones will make your right leg twitch like “Niggas in Paris” did that dude on the NYC subway .? But I digress….
Aubrey teams of with his Young Money bossman Lil Wayne and fellow YMCMB member Tyga for the video as the three pay homage to the Bay area.? He also tributes slain West Coast rap legend Mac Dre, by featuring his mom as the intro to the video.
“We only life once… that’s the motto!”
Of course a video shot in the Bay wouldn?t be official without E-40, who makes a cameo alongside Mistah FAB.
Drake is from Toronto, Wayne is from New Orleans, and Tyga is from Compton, but they show much love to the Bay as Drizzy drives around with plenty of scenic shots using the beautiful Golden Gate bridge as a backdrop.

Shawty Lo’s manager Johnnie Cabbell recently confirmed with VIBE that the rapper is in stable condition and resting.
“He suffers from diabetes and had to seek immediate medical attention, although he is now resting and doing well,” said Cabbell.
Lo made headlines earlier this year, when he spoke of joining 50 Cent’s G-Unit records (click HERE if you missed that) and recently confirmed that “G-Unit” will be powering overhead costs for his D4L Records label.? Since he was spotted dropping a ton of dough on Louboutin sneakers, we can only assume Fiddy’s new “50/50” deal was very lucrative.
At any rate, let’s all keep Shawty Lo in our prayers, Fiddy needs him, his 10 kids need him, and we need him to drop some more of that Bankhead music that he’s best known for.
Get well soon Lo!
