In my interview with @BOOZEY on behalf on Complex, I got to ask him how Jamie Foxx became the official narrator of his new album ‘The Outlaw Cherie Lee & Other Western Tales.’
To me this was so fitting as we have seen Jamie Foxx star as Django, in Quentin Tarantino’s 2012 film, ‘Django Unchained.’
Was Jamie the right pick to narrate Shaboozey’s outlaw country album? 👀

Having followed Jamie Foxx's career closely, I find his involvement in Shaboozey's album truly inspiring. Jamie isn’t just an actor or musician; he’s a Grammy-winning, EGOT-caliber artist who continually breaks boundaries. His portrayal of Django in Quentin Tarantino’s 'Django Unchained' stands out as a defining moment in bringing complex, legendary Western characters to life, and that energy naturally complements Shaboozey’s outlaw country themes. What resonates with me is how Jamie embodies a relentless spirit — someone who stops at nothing for love and justice, traits that perfectly underline the storytelling in Shaboozey’s album. Beyond 'Django,' Jamie's career spans a spectrum from heartfelt performances in 'Ray' to successful musical ventures, making him a true renaissance figure in entertainment. His presence as the narrator adds a layer of authenticity and cultural depth to the album, elevating its impact. For artists like Shaboozey who want to blend music and narrative, having a narrator who is both a musical and acting legend enriches the listener’s experience. Jamie’s voice brings a familiar Western outlaw vibe, rooted in Black history and pop culture, which is often underrepresented in country music. This collaboration also highlights Jamie's ongoing influence as a creative force and serves as a motivation for those of us aiming to pursue diverse artistic paths. It’s this blend of legacy, talent, and personal connection that makes Jamie Foxx the perfect narrator and a game-changer for the album’s storytelling.
