Kevin Abstract’s “Baby Boy” Is The Latest Puzzle Piece In The “ARIZONA Baby” Storybook

Kevin Abstract is going about ARIZONA Baby’s deployment on a piece by piece basis. What was initially conceived as a short order exercise in the eyes of the public, will soon become an episodic project, starting with this afternoon’s submission of “Baby Boy’ via Brockhampton’s YouTube channel. Did anyone really think he’d stop at 9-minutes of action?

Those you listened to all 9-minutes of ARIZONA Babywhen it dropped last week, remarked upon its deeply subjective material. Kevin Abstract touched on a few deep-seated issues, including the oppression he faced in his younger days in Texas. On “Baby Boy,” the prominent Brockhampton member feeds into this idea that a happily thereafter exists with his chosen family.

Driven by a mellifluous guitar and his pleasing singing voice, “Baby Boy” is tentatively listed as part of a project entitled GHETTO baby. The accompanying video begins with two actor-friends trading compliments in a loving embrace, bereft of the nitpicking Abstract described on the shortened ARIZONA project. Kev is one day removed from rubbishing rumor of a Brockhampton breakup. His latest video single only pushes the narrative further away from the worry warts. 

Quotable Lyrics:

Spent my days alone, when God left me all alone
He’s all I got, he’s all I got
I should let him know how much I need him now
He’s all I got, he’s all I got
Somethin’ is missing now, I need to find the right way to your house.
