J Maurice’s capacity for sophisticated and deep storytelling is what sets him aside as a hip-hop artist and person in our large and complex society. He has been honing his craft as an emcee ever since he was of a tender age, with the ultimate goal of connecting with others on a personal level and spreading a positive outlook in a world that can be riddled with strife and negativity. Having had a tumultuous upbringing, music was the only solace and sanctuary for him, where all the worries dissolved and nothing else really mattered except the material he was listening to, writing, or singing.
As an artist who does not like to be pigeonholed or put in a box as just a ‘hip-hop artist,’ J Maurice occasionally creates music with far-reaching appeal, blending the best of various genres and hip-hop to come up with music that defies genre conventions. That is the case with the jam “BADDIE,” an infectious, feel-good party anthem that sees him blend dancehall and rap for something that captivates way beyond the five senses.
He is masterful with some explicit bars, stealing the moment with his erudite and flattering verses that are complimentary of beautiful, sexy, and slaying ladies. The memorable hooks and infectious chorus make this an irresistible anthem that will continue ringing in the head long after the final notes fade away.
“BADDIE” is the result of confident braggadocio and a showcase of versatility and dexterity that flank J Maurice’s career. The way he is able to blend these two worlds while subtly injecting Afrobeats in there is the mark of an ingenious artist who excels at stretching the boundaries of sound.
The accompanying music video makes this track even better. The beautiful and sexy ladies dancing and vibing to the music make it resonate even more deeply and really capture the essence of the track’s title.
If you enjoy your hip-hop spiced up with a Caribbean vibe, then “BADDIE” is definitely the jam for you.
