José James - 38th and Chicago (Official Audio)

Stream 38th & Chicago: José James presents 38th & Chicago: a powerful, innovative and dance floor ready Afro-Latin soul classic. From the first notes of its ear worm bass line to its lush layered vocals, the song is a musical love letter to his hero Marvin Gaye. Like Gaye, James combines protest with party, expressing his outrage and heartbreak surrounding the murder of George Floyd. Despite its infectious beat and hook, the lyrics comprise a stunning/wrenching protest anthem. Its title references the intersection where George Floyd was murdered, just blocks from where James grew up....
