Born 2 B proves that innovation doesn’t go out of style 30 years into the game. His most recent release, “Born 2 B’s Riddim,” is a masterclass in jazz-infused hip-hop, mixing classic grooves with modern drive. A nod to his legacy and a bold step into the future, “Born 2 B’s Riddim” is the lead-in to his upcoming album, “Blue Notes, Beats & Rhymes.”
Born 2 B was early ahead of the jazz-rap movement, and early works such as 'The Band Played The Boogie' helped to define where the genre would be heading. Now he makes that leap across the years with “Born 2 B’s Riddim,” where he floats jazzy breaks and soulful grooves alongside his distinctive smooth talk. The result is a song that feels at once suited to late-night lounges and contemporary playlists, inviting longtime fans and a new generation of listeners.
Born 2 B doesn’t simply revisit the golden era of jazz rap; he advances it. The precise production and effortless flow reveal an artist confident and self-aware, paying homage to his roots while simultaneously pushing into new sonic territory. It’s music that feels new again because great music is for all time.
As the excitement grows for 'Blue Notes, Beats & Rhymes,' "Born 2 B’s Riddim" lays the groundwork for a project that pays homage to the past while creating the future.
