Old-school hip-hop classics transformed into soothing instrumental lullabies for baby and parents alike.
About the Album
Once Upon a Rhyme: Lullaby Renditions of Hip-Hop Classics transforms ten unforgettable hip-hop songs into calming instrumental lullabies. Inspired by artists including Outkast, 2Pac, Eminem, Coolio, Beastie Boys, Run-D.M.C., Warren G, Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, and more, the album gives parents a chance to revisit familiar favorites while creating brand-new memories with baby.
Every recording is thoughtfully arranged and performed by Jeff Bradford and Tim Phillips using soothing instruments including piano, xylophone, vibraphone, marimba, bells, glockenspiel, gentle woodblocks, and shakers. The original vocal melodies are lovingly recreated on instruments, giving these hip-hop classics an entirely new, sleep-friendly sound.
From “Hey Ya!” and “California Love” to “Gangsta’s Paradise” and “Rock Box,” Once Upon a Rhyme brings together music parents already know and love in peaceful renditions created for baby and parents alike.
