King of R&B feels like Jacquees’ coronation, and he’s prepared for any blowback that comes with it. He and fellow R&B great Tory Lanez have a fun tête-à-tête on “Risk It All.” The album kicks off with words from T.I., who made similar waves back in the day for proclaiming himself the “King of the South.” Additional guests like Lil Baby (“Your Peace”), Future (“What They Gone Do With Me”), Young Thug and Gunna (“Verify”), and Quavo and Bluff City (“All You Need”) show Jacquees is simpatico with moody hip-hop.
His old-school sensibility-the drawn-out notes, the buttery mid-range, a highly tuned rhythmic intuition-has contemporary knock, thanks to a production squad that includes $K, Nash B, Troy Taylor, Xeryus, and Young Trill Beats. Jacquees steps up his game on his second album-called, of course, King of R&B-the follow-up to his well-received 2018 debut 4275.

Jacquees' second Birdman collaboration, full-length Lost at Sea II, followed in November.Calling yourself the “king of R&B” is an audacious move.

The highest recorded use of the first name Jacquees was in 2017 with a total of 32 babies. I was surprised to realize that Jacquees was also going to be my studio partner for the day. We walked into the studio and were directed to go to the 3rd floor to Studio 101. A collaboration with fellow Cash Money labelmate Birdman yielded the Lost at Sea EP later that year. Jacquees opened my door for me and tried to shield me from all the blinding flashes of their cameras.
