00:00Hello everybody my name is BJ the Chicago Kid and I think it's very
00:03important to celebrate R&B music. It's the essence of our emotion. I feel like
00:08R&B is the game. R&B is the thing that helps you talk when you don't
00:12know what to say to it. When you can't find the words you play what we sing.
00:15Not just that but remind them of what that time felt like when you could
00:18actually see a future with somebody or you could feel so warm and so safe with
00:22somebody and meet them in that type of energy and that type of environment. I
00:25feel like that's where it begins. It begins with the tone that we set. I believe
00:28back in the day like my mom and dad could have met each other at a Marvin Gaye
00:31concert and possibly got married and had me. I don't know what I want to record
00:35before I go in the studio and I get there and I figure it out like right then and
00:39there it becomes a magical moment like my rendition of Aaliyah's One in a Million
00:43or things like that. You're praying that it comes and it never leaves. The song
00:47Church, I wasn't necessarily trying to tell my story. The lyrics came out of
00:51nowhere. I wasn't trying to aim for a particular place. Buddy wasn't there what
00:55you did. The hopefully we can go to heaven. He wasn't there when I did that part so
00:59when he came in the studio singing hopefully we can go to heaven and I
01:01told him to go listen to what I just did. It just tells you how you could be on the
01:05same planet creatively and make things work in the more of a magical kind of
01:09way. What's up y'all this is BJ the Chicago Kid and join me in New Orleans at
01:13the Essence Festival this year. Get your tickets now. We'll do it one more time.
