BJ The Chicago Kid - "Soul Of A Woman"

BJ The Chicago Kid sets out to explore how many of us really know the "Soul Of A Woman" with the release of his new single. South Side's supreme crooner builds candied vocal arrangements, harnessing his powerful squall layer by perfectly placed layer over a slow-churning groove, equal parts boom-bap and chicken grease, (dare I say) wholly reminiscent of a less ghostly (and reclusive) D'angelo. Some might say that's a tall order (it is) but as soon you lay your ears upon that infectious, clean refrain, we've got a hunch you'll catch on to the sweet sonic soul pouring through the gospel-stitched seems of this thing.

It's no wonder he's been tapped by everyone from Kendrick Lamar to Kanye Westto Schoolboy Q for hook service. Whether the offering comes to us from a forthcoming LP or serves standalone cool-out joint, The Chi seems to have a legitimate contender to its r&b throne in a sonic scene that's riddled with drill and bop sentiments. And don't it feel good? See what BJ The Chicago Kid's been cooking up with his latest cut "Soul Of A Woman" below and download the track for the low, low price of free ninety-nine if we're on the same page.
