Classic hip-hop anthems transformed into soothing instrumental lullabies for babies—and the parents who grew up with them.

On Once Upon A Rhyme: Lullaby Renditions of Hip-Hop Classics, Jammy Jams reimagines some of hip-hop's most iconic songs as gentle instrumental lullabies for baby and parents alike. These calming arrangements create a peaceful soundtrack for bedtime, naptime, or quiet moments together.
