To celebrate the 16th anniversary of one of the greatest R&B and soul singles of modern times, BJ The Chicago Kid has cooked up three-part blend of D’Angelo covers. Created as a tribute to D’Angelo’s hit-single “Untitled,” the 8-minute mix features covers of three D’Angelo songs: D’Angelo’s cover of Prince’s “Always In My Hair,” “Send It On,” and “Untitled.” Production on the effort is provided by Jairus “JMO” Mozee. Speaking on the ambitious piece, BJ The Chicago Kid had this to say:

“I had to celebrate his genius by paying homage to his legacy while he continues to kill the game and make great music. It’s a new year and there’s no better way to start it off than taking it back to where it all began for me. This is real ​Soul/​R&B,”

You can check out the covers below.
