Jake&Papa-Freedom

Jake&Papa have a socially conscious message to share in the light of current events. The Los Angeles based R&B duo released the rock-soul heavy “Freedom” on their 2012 mixtape ‘Sumthin Soulful.’ They shot a music video for the record last year at the march for Trayvon Martin, however it went unreleased.

“This video was shot a year ago at a march for Trayvon Martin in downtown Los Angeles and was never released.. but in light of the current state of the world, we felt compelled to release it & attempt to uplift,” explained the brothers. “If nothing else, sharing some common emotion w/ those who may feel the same as us. Enjoy!”

Jake&Papa bring back their “#SoulfulSunday’s” series following their well-received December releases. For the first Sunday of 2013, the R&B duo unleash the celebratory song “New Money“. It is an upbeat, lighthearted track celebrating the beginning of a New Year and speaking success into existence.

“There is an old tradition, going back generations…saying that when you eat a spoon full of black eyed peas on New Years, it’s supposed to bring you good luck, money and blessings,” explained the R&B duo. “Our older sister made them this year and pretty much inspired this song. A New Year of changes, progression and success. Whatever 2013 has for us, we’re ready. We had our spoon full of black eyed peas this year, so that New Money is coming. Cheers!”

As the final release of 2012, from Jake&Papa’s “#SoulfulSunday’s” series, the R&B brothers are sharing the acapella, “Hide & Seek”, a remake of Imogen Heap’s “Hide and Seek,” fused with Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good.” The song is a classic story of heartbreak, betrayal and deception and the attempt to begin the road of overcoming it.

“This song is a reflection of our roots,” explain the duo. “We’ve always admired and enjoyed creating intricate acapellas. So we took this classic heartbreak by Imogene Heap and built our own version of it – with no instrumentation, only our voices – in order to tell our personal portion of it!”

This is the short, preview version of their song, the extended will be released soon.
