As soon as he was able to, he started singing himself, with his mother serving as his greatest inspiration, role model, and guide, when it came to all things vocal. His latest release, &#8216;Top Of The World&#8217;, is a reflection of his lifelong goal to make a name for himself in music &#8211; and it&#8217;s just the latest in a long line of tracks that have resonated well with his ever-expanding fanbase.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I Am Legend debuted in 2020 with his track, &#8216;Roller Coaster&#8217;, and he quickly followed it up with the hits, &#8216;Get It Up&#8217;, &#8216;HEART BROKEN&#8217;, and &#8216;OUU AHH YEA&#8217;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;Top Of The World&#8217; carries with it the premise that we mustn&#8217;t let anyone tell us what we can and cannot do; including our own self. It&#8217;s by listening to his mother&#8217;s encouragement, and following his own advice that I Am Legend has managed to grow his musical career. He started to take his music seriously over the past 2 years, and the result is his adoring audience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the video for &#8216;Top Of The World&#8217;, we see I Am Legend singing and dancing with model, Leslie Zulay. We&#8217;re hooked right from the start, as he connects with the viewer, beyond the camera lens. I Am Legend references James Brown with lyrics &#8220;Papa&#8217;s got a brand new bag&#8221; and &#8220;It&#8217;s a man&#8217;s world&#8221;, the title of two of the legendary artist&#8217;s songs, and indeed, someone who knew what it was like to be on top of the world. It&#8217;s a simple clip, just I Am Legend and Leslie in an open studio space, but it&#8217;s super effective, with I Am Legend&#8217;s charisma oozing out of every frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can watch the video for &#8216;Top Of The World&#8217; below, and follow I Am Legend online on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100010640741460\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thereal_iamlegend\/\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@legendiam200?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">TikTok<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_90735\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lsgGLpY4roM?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"I Am Legend - Top Of The World ( Official Video )\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/lsgGLpY4roM\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rising R&#038;B, pop, and hip-hop artist I Am Legend was born with music in his blood, and his new single, &#8216;Top Of The World&#8217; reflects his lifelong goal to make a name for himself in music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":76218,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"Rising R&B, pop, and hip-hop artist I Am Legend was born with music in his blood, and his new single, 'Top Of The World' reflects his lifelong goal to make a name for himself in music.","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7,9,21453,21445,21446,21449,640],"tags":[29414,11720,77,370,1945,116,10677,29415,22992],"class_list":["post-76205","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-new-releases","category-new-singles","category-reviews","category-single-reviews","category-video-reviews","category-videos","tag-i-am-legend","tag-lisa-hafey","tag-new-release","tag-new-single","tag-new-video","tag-review","tag-single-review","tag-top-of-the-world","tag-video-review"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-jP7","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":69944,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2021\/06\/dj-many-releases-single-know-with-pop-legend-donny-osmond\/","url_meta":{"origin":76205,"position":0},"title":"DJ Many Releases Single &#8216;Know&#8217; With Pop Legend, Donny Osmond!","author":"Lisa Hafey","date":"18\/06\/2021","format":false,"excerpt":"DJ Many is a YouTube Award Winning Recording artist, DJ, music producer, and songwriter, whose preferred musical styles include Hip-Hop, Reggae, Pop, R&B, and EDM, among other genres.
