Released: April 28th, 2009 (U.S.)
Born and raised in Savannah, Georgia, brothers Steven and Carlos Battey had their love for music instilled in them by their mother Jackie Battey (R.I.P.) Inspired by their mother, their name now carries a tribute to her with The Jackie Boyz. They began their singing career performing down at the River Street Pier in Savannah. They have since moved to Los Angeles, and have been seen performing on the streets there and also down at the Santa Monica Pier. Since moving to L.A., their music career has taken off, becoming platinum songwriters with hits like Flo-Rida's "Sugar", and Justin Beiber's "Down to Earth", while also releasing their own debut album "The Beginning", they have blown people away with their talent. Working with the Baby G Music label, their debut album "The Beginning" is a mixture of slow to middle r&b and club bangers. The album uses a lot of electronic sounds and effects in its beats, while also sticking out with more common instruments like pianos and drums. Some suggestions for some slow to middle r&b on the album would be "Ships and Planes", "Cross Country", and "Now That I'm Here". As far as club bangers go, it would have to be the song called "Topless", which features a rapper named Souljah 100. The album hasn't produced any radio hits due to a early album release in Japan and not being sold in U. S. stores besides through Itunes , but keep an ear out, these Boyz are here to stay.
