Follow Baby Boy:
BUCK* is a vibrant, handcrafted mix of R&B, rap, pop, and rock that pairs Baby Boy with a core set of close-knit collaborators and multi-instrumentalists. Working primarily with producers Mikey Mu, jerod, and AG Club stalwart Saint Patrick, Baby Boy sounds like he’s leading a band from within a bedroom studio, with occasional pop-ins from fellow sonic travelers like Dilip (Skrillex, JackBoys), berg (SAILORR, ian), Hamish (Smino, Miguel), Isaac Rose, and others.
The previously unheard “SUM1ELSE.mp3” is an immediate standout, painting a vivid picture of a couple at a crossroads over a track that moves between wistful dreamscapes and a bouncing chorus that plays like a brokenhearted B-side from a lost Y2K pop&B album. Baby Boy is unabashedly vulnerable, expressing his devotion as a counterpoint to his partner’s wandering eye: “I think I’m tongue tied, I’m just thinking ’bout you tonight, alright?” he begins. “Your hands tied around me, you used to ride beside me / Now you’re here thinking ’bout someone else.”
