As Jimmy Luxury, Boston-born/Philly-dwelling MC/producer James Kelleher had his swing-oriented hip-hop songs on the film soundtracks of Ocean's Eleven and Go. As Cobraman, Kelleher put out an eponymous EP and had a hit with the naughty rap tune, "Finger You Girl." But as frontman for Baby Jewelry, Kelleher (who took time off from music to be a set designer on a few locally lensed films) goes for a sampladelic brand of electro hip-hop while keeping the laughs up front.
