B4 the Night is Thru

The first time I saw Jesse Boykins III, he was playing wingman to Theophilus London on stage at SOBs. Over the past few years Boykins has been developing into a soul force of his own with some big help from the always mind trippin' Machine Drum. (I know I've been on that Theophilus / Machine Drum tip for a little bit now, but they're just putting out a whole lotta good music right now.) Anyway, this new drop "B4 the Night is Thru" by Mr. Boykins and Machine Drum is sexy as shit.

"Before the night is through, I will walk to you; you will be the one and I will be your drum." 

Boykins soft but cool voice plays the perfect bard to Machine Drum's complex, relaxed alien electro. The music is not poppy and doesn't hook you like your cookie cutter R&B, but rather it entices, surprises, sometimes pushes a little too hard, but all in all keeps it interesting... This is one of them late night wine drunk type songs.

Besides the fact that the song is hot, I wanted to post this cause Mel D Cole shot a beautiful album cover for the single that you guys can all enjoy above.
