Jaylon’s Baby Boy is a genre-blurring triumph that pulses with cultural pride and soulful innovation. The Nigerian-born, Bristol-based producer taps into his transcontinental roots to craft an Afro R&B project that feels both personal and globally relevant. From the sunlit grooves of “Stay Ok” with Azanti to the rhythmic bounce of “Nufftime” featuring Phaemous, Remy Baggins, and Minz, every track on Baby Boy carries a specific mood, joyful, reflective, and effortlessly cool. It’s the kind of project that commands your headphones and your speakers, blending dancehall, pop, and Afro-fusion without ever losing its emotional centre.

What stands out most is Jaylon’s intentionality as a curator of sound and community. Featuring a carefully selected lineup of collaborators from across the African diaspora, Baby Boy feels like a sonic kinship, each artist adding depth to Jaylon’s evolving story. The production is light but layered, minimal yet rich, reflecting a confidence in sound that doesn’t need to shout to make an impact. With this EP, Jaylon isn’t just flexing his skills as a producer; he’s planting a flag for Afro R&B’s next wave, textured, collaborative, and boldly expressive.

On the release, Jaylon shares, “Baby Boy is where I let myself explore joy. It’s nostalgic, but still fresh—happy chords, chill vibes, and beats that move you without overwhelming. It’s a soundscape of who I am.”
