Zo! + Sy Smith “Body Rock” (Acoustic version)

Posted on by
In our now 12+ years of working together, I think it’s safe to say by now that my sister Sy Smith and I have accumulated some gahtdamn jams. This one was written with our brother Phonte and closed out my 2013 album #ManMade.

Since it looks like we’re gonna be in the house for awhile, Sy and I decided to have some fun with it.  #ZoAndSySmith #Acoustic #AtTheCrib #CribJams #WeGonBeHereForAMinute

In case you missed it…
Here’s the joint that we did for last night’s John Legend and Family: A Bigger Love Father’s Day Special… I haven’t obtained an official copy yet, so you’ll just have to settle for the video I recorded off of my TV.
I hope nobody forgot Father’s Day on y’all…!!
