Should Nikko Baby Be Crowned For R&B In Chicago?

®Nikko Baby 2022

If there were any question that NIKKO BABY would be a star, you can throw that out the window. The
epitome of never judge a book by its cover, Nikko’s voice will melt your soul and make you feel his pure and raw emotion.

His musical influences include Al Green, Barry White, Heavy D, The Notorious B.I.G. and Michael Jackson to name a few. This Chicago native is a student of his craft. Falling in love with music and entertaining from the very young age of 10. He credits his first performance of Silent Night and his ballsy display to Kwiet Storm as catalysts that made him take music more seriously.

BODY OF WORK

He lives to perform live and create visual stories with his music in the studio. Over the years, Nikko Baby has had the opportunity to collab with fellow Chicago native Tink on the buzz worthy track “Freak Like Me” which has gained massive streams worldwide. Yakki Divioshi (Pop Lord), Kevin McCall to Z Money and has also developed a strong partnership with Chicago’s very own Young Chop.

A CHOICE TO MAKE

Performing and writing R&B for himself & many well known household names that include super
producer Jazze Pha, were not quick gateways to success for him. For a few years Nikko had one foot in R&B and the other consumed in street life. After a wake up call in Chicago late fall 2018, he realized that music had to be 10 toes down for survival.

While recovering from being shot, he created a cover to Meek Mill’s Save Me as a form of release. Listening to this song you felt his pain, his yearning for a better way out and an immense need to express. This one song embodies the feel and sound you want to have each and every time you hear his music. Stay
tuned for more from Nikko, with every new release he is sure to make you feel it.

Hip-Hop Icon Scarface Says Farewell

When Hip-Hop first began in the late 70’s the genre was labeled as a passing fad, but even with it’s initial spark, some had ruled it to quickly fizzle out like disco or jazz. Hip-Hop was especially designed to provide a voice to the voiceless. The birthplace and essence of Hip-Hop will be debated about for years to come.  One thing we do know to be a fact that it reached as far west as Los Angeles California and as far South as Houston Texas. The birth place of one the most prolific MC’s who has ever touched a mic Brad Jordan aka SCARFACE.

(KISS THE RING)

“HIP HOP HEARTBREAKS, STRAIGHT LACED DEEP BASS 808’s, PLUS THE MIXTAPES”

 SCARFACE

Scarface had that voice and witty rhyme flow that could match perfectly with the best of them. In addition, his keen ear which allows him the ability to produce his own projects. Just take a listen to his latest and undeniably his best body of work DEEPLY ROOTED

Despite having eleven studio albums, 2 compilations and countless of features it’s safe to say that the body of work Brad Jordan has put together is incomparable to anything in Hip Hop has been able to listen to.
