Music: Baby Jaymes: “Heart & Soul”

June 13th, 2011  |  Published in Music

“I put my heart in it, heart it / Go home or hard with it / I’m not going home, so let me turn you on,” sings Baby Jaymes on his latest single “Heart & Soul.” The singer/songwriter, who has worked with Raphael Saadiq and George Clinton, uses this track to explain his approach and his motivation for creating music. The smooth, two-step worthy groove, which includes scratches from DJ Toure, is a sample the style Jaymes has dubbed “Ghetto Retro.”  You can see the man that some refer to as “The Black Beck” tomorrow night at Monday Soul. Don’t forget to report back and let us know what you thought of the show.
