Jake&Papa – Where I Belong [Video]

HNHH is pleased to premiere the latest video from the talented and dapper duo Jake&Papa. Kicking off saxophone straight out of an eighties high school movie, the visuals keep the wistful romance alive with emotional wedding flashbacks. The singers spend the majority of the clip bearing their souls on a rooftop, looking hella stylish in the process. Both Jake&Papa hold it down, and it’s refreshing to see a little romance in the genre from time to time. The group stated they aimed to make “a dedication to the dedicated ones,” and so they “gathered some clips of some of the most magical 1st dances out there.”

Sam is currently on tour with Sidewalk Chalk, and we had a little time to mess around with some music. As far as the new album from Kendrick, we both were hoping that he would expand on the sound from “To Pimp a Butterfly”. To begin, he had top flight musicians and vocalists on this project, and he proved that you didn’t have to create a “Trap Album” to have critical acclaim as well as commercial success in a modern-day release. However, when we heard the minimalist approach for the “Damn” project, it caught us off-guard. In the case of King Mason, I met him through Kashmere Don while I was working on the Mvula Project with Luke. I wanted to work with a local bass player and I heard he was the guy. I saw where he was listed in the credits as a session musician for “The Hue”, but when I went to visit him at his spot, I got to hear his personal work and it was great. He wanted the opportunity to be recognized as a producer and not just a session musician, so we decided to collaborate on the Ashby Project and we feel we created a great project. One great thing
