With
each generation a new style of music emerges. While the new
generation celebrates its divergence from the generation before in the
shaping of its own musical identity, the older generation tends to discredit
the ability of the new sound to qualify as real music. Jesse Boykins III
has found a way to reconcile these differences. His music possesses a
jazzy and soulful sound reminiscent of early R&B acts, but his production
and writing are undeniably relevant today.
