BossDJ - Jakob Nowell

Jakob Nowell covers the Sublime song written by his father Bradley Nowell. This performance was captured during Jakob’s first interview for The Long Way Back Film. He is sitting on the patio at his grandparents house in Belmont Shore, Long Beach.

You can hear his dad in his voice... It's bittersweet. My heart aches a bit

[smokintoes]

Hes so much like his dad it hurts, and at the same time he's so opposite his dad it hurts...

Jakob, I'm glad you're your own person, and sorry for you having to live in your father's shadow.
Please understand how crucially he changed so many people's lives though, and will always continue to do so.

How cool that as a true sublime fan we all get to hear a piece of bradley still 💖

[jimmyt]

He sounds so much like his dad yet is a sound all his own. Beautiful

[Subversion_dnb]

And here he is today coming full circle and playing these songs with Eric & Bud. His pops would be so dang proud!

[Jroc]

Made me tear up. Probably my favorite sublime song and he sang it absolutely beautifully.

[BrutusMcCrunch]

Im really rooting for this kid. He inherited the gift

[stegmandd]

Unpopular opinion: this is my favorite version of Boss DJ

[erickagrant]

Keep that light shining! It is beautiful.

[joeromano]

Thanks Jakob! I have listened to this 50 to 60 times today! Keep it up brother! I can see your dad smiling!

[Cbk]

He definitely has his own style and it works so well. But when he starts improvising, he sounds just like his dad. Awesome rendition. 👏👏

[chairarms]

DUUUUDE, you got your dad's improv styleeee. so dope! it's like I'm hearing an old sublime B-side that somehow got lost in the pile. I WANT MORE

[whateverwhatever]

Miss you Bradley ...thanks for bringing back that magic Jakob

[kamieveritt]

I know his dad is so very I tear up watching this 😢

[cardsfan]

I want to hear Jakob sing Santeria or 40 oz to Freedom

[tomijowilson]

I’ve been waiting for Jakob to be apart of Sublime since this video came out and I’m SO HAPPY

[energyflowswhereattentiongoes]

Being serenaded by Jake is very nostalgic. great job young man. Your father would be a beaming glow of joy with what you have become. May the legends vibrations carry on through you. We miss him dearly and are thankful for what he brought into and left behind this world.

[tokcnyecko]

This is too beautiful and heart wrenching... It's literally life itself.

[Frumess]

Just incredible. I'll never forget when I first heard him at the grave in 2012. He has his father's talent, but he does his own thing with it. Can't wait to see this movie, and can't wait for more LAW!
