R&B Singers from the North East?

[ISO]

Yeah I think that's what it is. I can only name a few full AA artists from New York from the last ten years

A boogie donq young ma, funny enough a boogie and young ma moved south then came back north

Boston and NYC are heavily West Indian compared to the 80s and 90s

Butt what about Philly?

Young M.A. is Puerto Rican and Jamaican.

To answer the thread you got a few. Mack Wilds, his album from a couple years got nominated for a Grammy, one of the best R&B albums I've listened to in this generation, like a dope modern boom bap R&B album, its called New York: A Love Story. He's AA and Dominican from Staten Island.


Also, you got Teyana Taylor.

There's this Dominican chick, she's signed to Triangle Offense (labelmates with Dave East and production duo Buda & Grandz), got put on to her via East.


R.I.P. Prodigy, she bodied this


She bad

Ah didn't know about young m
I know Mack wilds (shout out Stapleton) but Teyana is like a part time artist

And when you look at literally every other place ....sorry but jazzy ain't cutting it

West got Kehlani, Jhene Aiko, Ty$ who else?

R&B really is dead mainstream wise I just looked at the charts

Clearly talking about the 80s onward


VA produced Timbaland, Missy, Pharrell , D Angelo, Devante

Y'all gonna tell me these folks ain't have a huge impact of r&b?

No, I'm telling you don't try to claim us.

Another win for the South.

You could say A-Boogie dabbles in R&B like a Drake/Tory too...

For Philly you got Meek's artists Gourdan Banks, talented dude...


And PnB Rock of course

Most Philly artists I know of AA. There's a lot of NYC born reggae/dancehall artist poppin up in the city too.

Young MA not AA. Dave East mom is AA. People say Bobby Shmurda moms is Trini but he had said she's from here.

R&B damn near nonexistent in NYC now can't even hold you. Some cool singers out there but they ain't cuttin it. Even gospel artists aren't coming out of NYC like that anymore that should be a sign within itself.

Dave East not AA. Maybe Bobby's mom was raised here, his hood is basically 100% West Indian.

Frank Ocean from New Orleans he moved to LA after Katrina temporarily and ended up staying

Anyway low key I think the cut of musical programs in school could be a reason for this.

Probably

But NYC Boston and Philly aren the only places with cuts to their school boards

Dave East moms is AA from Louisiana. No lie. That other stuff prolly on his pops side but his blood family in Philly all AA. He said him and Fab got cool off the fact they was both Dominican and Black.

Musical programs helped but a lot of these artists came out the church too. It's still a big disconnect there with R&B comin out of NYC for some reason.

there were alot of aframs in north east R&B because of the disco influence but I just did quick look @ some popular 90's R&B and it's pred, non-north eastern
