Amsterdam’s Full Crate and true original Jesse Boykins III team up on the emotionally and harmonically sophisticated “Her Throne.” While they were at it–the sessions happened in Full Crate’s studio when JBIII was in town for the Red Bull Music Academy, of which both artists are alumni–they also created the excellent and more pulsing beat of “See With Me,” which hovers on the edge of moombaton-like bounce underneath Crate’s trademark melodic colors and crisp snares. Now OKP is proud to host this double premiere: “Her Throne” – the single with “See With Me” as the b-side on this virtual 12″. Stream below–and purchase as a single on iTunes.

Vibrations, energy, waves and world soul: singer-songwriter Jesse Boykins III carries the hopes of many urban pop fans. He explains his constant quest for inspiration and musical progression written by PEDO KNOPP
The doc, the triple x y and Mr Boykins III hit the spot with this sultry slice of soul, Jesse’s rich gospel vocals floating
over slick trap rhythms and glittering boogie funk. This is a futuristic hit record beamed back via the medium of brainwaves, from a place where the 80s didn’t end and instead got more exotic, with bigger boomboxes.
Written by Jesse Boykins III (USA), Mial Watkins (UK) and
Rupert Taylor (UK). Produced by Doc Daneeka and xxxy.
All instruments played by Jesse Boykins III, Doc Daneeka
and xxxy with additional keys from Dorian Concept.
