As the nephew of R&amp;B icon JoJo Hailey, Devin holds the torch high in a dynamic furtherance of the level of artistry that has come out of the JT Entertainment label this year. With JoJo Hailey kicking off a remarkable string of releases by the Hailey family in early 2020, Devin follows his uncle and his two cousins Sakoya Wynter and Kayla Tiffany with this late summertime hit. Devin describes the track as an organic arrangement that was born of a studio session he didn\u2019t even think he\u2019d be at. Alongside artists and trusted collaborators Mike Smoov and Blaq Rose, Devin felt the inspiration for \u201cKick it 2 U\u201d after what was a very difficult day for his family. Having experienced a loved one&#8217;s passing earlier that day, Devin had no idea he\u2019d be channeling his restless and emotional energy into a song about romance and love.<\/p>\n<p>While Devin is an east coast native, the video for \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=n-vi0Xd9X1g\">Kick It 2 U<\/a>\u201d was shot on a sunny day in downtown Los Angeles. Scenes in front of the downtown skyline paired with a split screen of him and a beautiful young girl grab listeners with a \u2018young love\u2019 type of mood that Devin seamlessly pairs with contemporary R&amp;B arrangements. The good vibes are undeniable; Devin\u2019s lyrical flow blends perfectly into a chorus reminiscent of classic rhythm and blues while maintaining a fresh &amp; youthful energy throughout. Devin\u2019s passion for the traditional Hip Hop \/ R&amp;B style shines through from beginning to end. The video offers a smooth color palette of golds and silvers with Devin and the \u2018love interest\u2019 at the forefront. \u201cLet me kick it to you baby, let me hit you with that good love, you\u2019re the one I\u2019m thinking of\u201d &#8211; Devin delivers the world a classy love song during a time when the world could use a little more love in its life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cK<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=n-vi0Xd9X1g\">ick It 2 U<\/a>\u201d comes after a long string of releases for Devin. No stranger to the camera, his charisma shines in his new video and it\u2019s truly no doubt that the Hailey family has had one of it\u2019s strongest years yet. With JoJo kicking the year off with his first solo comeback hit \u201cSpecial\u201d, he and the JT Entertainment label received love from publications like Billboard, Hollywood Life, KDAY LA and many more. JoJo\u2019s daughter Kayla Tiffany released a quick follow-up with her track \u201cTherapy\u201d which received praise from TIDAL editorial, The Hype Magazine &amp; This is RnB.
