R&B: Jhene Aiko – “Wrap Me Up” feat. James Fauntleroy
December 26, 2012
Def Jam Recordings has a new star! Jhene Aiko… mmm mm mm! Her single “Wrap Me Up” is a holiday season hot joint. Unexpected use of a Christmasy beat laced with sleigh bells. With some assistance from Cocaine 80s’ James Fauntleroy, the vocals go sultry and hot over what could have been a rated G track (took it to PG-13… all good). Liking this.

May 21, 2012
While in Chicago for a live performance, R&B singer & songwriter Jhene’ Aiko was interviewed for the “Step Into The Black Music Series” sponsored by Captain Morgan Black Spiced Rum & The Fader that I spotted at ThisIsRNB.

R&B: Jhene’ Aiko – “2 Seconds”
May 19, 2012
After blowing up independently before being signed by producer & label exec NO I.D. to Def Jam, Jhene’ Aiko is poised to release her debut album “Souled Out” very soon lead by her upcoming single “3:16”. She teases her growing fanbase with this unfinished joint produced by Kevin Roosevelt called “2 Seconds” & it sounds like’s it’s shaping up rather nicely. I usually don’t post unfinished songs, but this one is a gem & most of you wouldn’t care or even notice the difference. It sounds THAT good. I’m sure in ‘2 seconds’ she’ll release the final version or her official single first….

Jhene’ Aiko – “My Mine” (Video)
October 21, 2011
Dope new video for Jhene Aiko’s song “My Mine” off of her equally as dope Sailing Soul(s) album that dropped back in March of this year. It was one of the better R&B albums released this year & it was a FREE album. I’m just surprised that this is only the second video she dropped for the project as the year draws to a close.

Jhene Aiko – Do Better Blues Part II (Marvin’s Room Remix)
July 13, 2011
Jhene Aiko supplys her take on Drake’s Marvin’s Room joint that a gang of other have R&B artists have taken a crack at. Jhene Aiko says she recorded this song while in the hospital for a few days. Not bad for a joint recorded in while you’re in the hospital recovering. Music is medicine for the soul & therapy for artists….

Jhene Aiko – ‘Sailing Soul(s)’ Album
March 16, 2011
After hearing Jhene Aiko on a few songs that leaked to the web & her collaborations with Compton emcee Kendrick Lamar, I became genuinely interested in hearing more from her upon the release of her new full length project ‘Sailing Soul(s). It’s a free album that she mentioned via her website JheneAiko.com that she was releasing today. The full tracklisting is under the hood so Let’s dig into it……
Jhene Aiko – ‘Hoe’ featuring Miguel
March 8, 2011
While conversing with a few female friends of mine from Japan on twitter we somehow got to discussing this Jhene Aiko song featuring Miguel called ‘Hoe’. This is a pretty dope song that actually dropped on the web sometime late last month & I just never got around to posting it on the blog. It features Gucci Mane for a verse so subconsciously I may have put it on the backburner for that reason. Gucci seems out of the place on the song, although overall it’s still good to listen to. Later I may have to edit a “no Gucci’ version to further my own personal listening enjoyment. Jhene Aiko has an upcoming project dropping on March 16th called ‘Sailing Soul(s)’ which is I believe is the first project from the blasian singer. I had posted a trailer sometime last month about it as well so if you missed it you can check out under the hood along with additional work from the artist…..
