Shoutout to Easy Rider and Jamrock, who just had their first child this morning. 99% of you reading this have no idea who they are, but they did play a part in the founding of 33jones, so respect.

I was hard pressed to find a fitting mp3 to celebrate the event. Not too many songs in hip hop that actually put the birth of a new child in a positive light. There's "That's Just My Baby Daddy" by B-Rock, "Billy Gene" by Nice 'N Smooth (and earlier, Michael Jackson), "Baby Daddy" by Queenpen and not a lot else.

So I had to take things back to the old school, with Isaac Hayes' Hung Up On My Baby. The baby referenced in the song obviously isn't a child, but ah....close enough. Gheto Boys fans will notice this song was sampled in their classic "Mind's Playing Tricks on Me".
