Hip-hop star Big Sean and R&B singer Jhené Aiko welcomed their first child into the world in November. By releasing “Sleep Soul Relaxing R&B Baby Sleep Music Vol. 2,” Aiko is truly embracing parenthood. The 20-song compilation was produced in collaboration with Jhené Aiko by the Sleep Soul label. The 34-year-old Def Jam recording artist was also the project’s executive producer.
The 6-time Grammy nominee said,
I’m super excited to partner with Sleep Soul to share this R&B lullaby album. As a mom of a newborn, I can appreciate anything that helps me and my baby boy get to sleep. These R&B lullaby tracks help soothe and relax Mom, Dad, and baby. Being a part of a project like this is important to me because I believe sleep is essential for the well-being of both parent and child.
