Thoughts:  His Spotify bio has a quote from the Houston Press saying that this sounds like if Prince made a children's album.  I can't go quite that far here, but it definitely has a nice little sound for the kiddos.  he has FYUTCH on one track, he was a kiddie rapper who was on the bill last year.  Honestly, "Roly Poly" is catchy, totally has me boppin around.  That is his top solo track.  20k streams.

ROLLIN AROUND!  "Uncle Jumbo is a Texas born son of a Disco and Reggae DJ, who got his start, as a four year old, playing accordion with touring Zydeco bands on the front porch of his Aunt Helen’s house in Louisiana. After spending years blending the grooves of Hip Hop and Soul, new inspiration struck deeply when he heard the first rhythm of his daughter’s heartbeat. Soon after, Jumbo and family held tightly to music as a way of bringing hope and healing to their home, when his daughter was diagnosed with a rare liver disease at birth. This led to the evolution of Jumbo turning his musical focus into creating heartfelt, uniting and jammin’ music for children everywhere, in an effort to help raise generations of positive, loving people."

Jam on, Uncle Jumbo!
