Once again shout out to my man Samuel for putting me on to this one as well. Not only do I miss 90’s r&b, but I also miss that classic Bone Thugs sound! This was the second single from Montell’s sophomore album “More…”

Shout out to my man DaVaughn from SoulStarMusic for putting me on to Dave Young, the first artist signed to Mary J. Blige’s Matriarch Records. Like Blige, he truly believes in helping to preserve old should r&b and soul by tapping into his idols such as...

It was impossible to pick just one song from Teedra Moses’ debut album “Complex Simplicity,” so I had to choose two. I love pretty much the whole album front to back, so I wouldn’t say these are necessarily the best songs on the album, but...

Jive recording artist K. Michelle has just released her new mixtape “What’s the 901?” (a play off of Mary J’s ‘What’s the 411?’) today. She’s an up and coming artist in r&b, so if you haven’t heard her music...

Oh man, I was sleeping VERY HARD on the neo-soul movement of the late 90’s. Another great singer that I just discovered now. Major shout out to doublebeee for putting me on! R.I.P. Lynden!
