about

You may think you know the Baby J sound. Hes the man who put smiles on faces with Mpho Skeefs supremely chirpy Holla, and struck gold with his ska-stepping, all-star remix of Valerie for girl of the moment Amy Winehouse. The track reached number two in the national charts, stayed there for eleven weeks and spent five weeks at the top of MTVs airplay chart. His soul patent, comparable to the now ubiquitous Kanye West method of using sped-up samples, produced Rukus's heavily rotated road lullaby Let It Go, taken from Js much-applauded album FTP. Hes been hailed The UKs Best Underground Producer at the Urban Music awards and FTP was nominated for two BBC 1xtra mixtape awards, in Best mixtape and Best concept categories.
Baby J is a one-man-magnet when it comes to working with the cream of UK hip-hop and R&B, from home-grown thoroughbreds to below-radar up-and-comers and his own personal squad of emcees that always benefit from a Baby J leg-up. On the album front, J contributed notably to Skinnymans all-conquering Council Estate of Mind, and Blades Guerrilla Tactics. And all this is after putting in the groundwork earlier in his career by hooking-up with Wu-Tang Clan, Brand Nubian and Dead Prez no less.
However, Baby Food a full decade on from Js UK-meets-US debut The Birth - is based on a distinctly sour palette. Sure, hes prepared another menu of UK A-listers and those bound to occupy one-to-watch column inches (FARMA G, MILLION DAN, ASHLEY "ASHER D" WALTERS and more). But J isnt his usual chipper, optimistic self, though it does show that hes not one to cook with the same ingredients time after time, particularly with his use of rawer materials, traditional, in-the-flesh instruments and declaring Baby Foods austerity as a sample-free zone. Its a morose, distrustful look at the ways of the world.
Baby Food its all in the formula...
