‘Dear Mama (A Cappella)’ | BJ The Chicago Kid, Tone Stith, Venor + T Royal

JABARI executive produced and conceptualized the project, presents an emotionally charged, a cappella R&B cover of Tupac’s iconic “Dear Mama,” featuring BJ the Chicago Kid, Tone Stith, T Royal, and Venor.

The release celebrates Mother’s Day, the 30th Anniversary of the original song, and Tupac’s 54th Birthday on June 16th.

Stripping the production down to its purest form, the track showcases four of the genre’s most distinct male voices in harmony, honoring the original while reimagining it through a modern R&B lens.

Under JABARI’s creative direction, the accompanying visual channels intimacy, gratitude, and timeless reverence for mothers everywhere.

This marks the second landmark release of 2025 under the R&B ONLY music arm, following February’s viral cover of Tony! Toni! Toné!’s “Anniversary,”. That release celebrated the ten-year anniversary of R&B ONLY and featured standout performances from Keyon Dixon, Eric Bellinger, Jai’Len Josey, KELS, and Dende.

With every new drop, JABARI cements his dual identity as a creator and cultural architect. From building the R&B ONLY empire into a global phenomenon to producing genre-defining music moments, his work bridges legacy and innovation.
