You may have recently heard another revamp of Mr. 3 Stacks aka Andre 3000’s song Prototype and wondered “who goes there, again?”
Well, in addition to Raheem Devaugh and Jazmine Sullivan, Jesse Boykins III has joined the likes of his r&b counterparts and revisited the song [Prototype] with his own eclectic flavor and finesse.
Featuring Melo-X and Trae Harris, the ballad is, in my opinion, definitely a match for his sound. This new soul artist has a style that is very unique in his own right however, I can hear and see a little Dwele, mixed with some Devaughn and topped with a sprinkle of Bilal (remember, this is my opinion). Yet, his style and lyrical ability is still individualized and (shrugs shoulders) good.
Check out the trailer/sneak peak to his up and coming documentary series, shot by Slick Jackson, entitled “Spot Dates”.
And if you haven’t heard “Prototype”, check that out too.
