Jamie Foxx

Eric Marlon Bishop known professionally as Jamie Foxx, is an American actor, singer-songwriter, stand-up comedian and musician. As an actor, his work in the film 2004 Ray earned him the Academy Award and BAFTA Award for Best Actor as well as the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a musical or comedy. The same year, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the action film Collateral.

He is also a Grammy Award winning musician, producing three albums which have charted highly on the Billboard 200: Unpredictable, which topped the chart, Best Night of My Life, and Intuition. Foxx starred in his own television show, The Jamie Foxx Show, as Jamie King. In 2012, Foxx starred in the film Django Unchained, and in 2014, he played the villain Electro in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

It was late 2010 when Jamie Foxx last released any new songs, topping the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart with his melancholy Drake-featuring "Fall For Your Type." Now the Oscar-winner returns to music with a pumped up banger, "Party Ain't a Party" with some guest help from 2 Chainz, likely teasing new material to come.

The DJ Mustard-produced track opens with a slow building beat, accented by echoing hollers of "Wait a minute," before 2 Chainz gets things going, setting a theme how a party ain't a party 'til he turns up. The track pulls from Queen Pen's "1997" single by the same name on the hook, but is very much Foxx's own as he and Chainz take turns illustrating sexy late night party scenes.
