What city has the most “Neo-Soul” Vibes?

[igottabaldhead]

I guess a place where the smooth laidback shea butter vibes are super present? Im from the NY area and Harlem is definitely the mecca for that up here, but can’t claim that as the vibe for the whole new york city.

Im young but an old soul, i need that musiq soulchild/maxwell/erykah badu energy


Thoughts and travel recommendations?

D.C. ?

Philly is #1 for Neo-Soul vibes.
Has a cool urban soulful black culture.
New York, DC, Atlanta follow up.
Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore are in there too.

Shea butter has a twisted connotation nowadays.

Erykah Badu never wenched out,
Jill Scott never disparaged black men
India Arie never went Super Saiyan Intersectional

Shea Butter 10 - 15 years ago is different than today.

Definitely Chicago and Philadelphia.

And also, some Southern states have bred some neo soul singers like Texas, Tennessee, and both of the Carolinas.

Ppl my age up in NYC always wanna bump Popsmoke, Migos and Aboogie, and all this aggressive content.

I just wanna cruise to the club bumpin this and having a peaceful smooth happy night.

New York
Philly's neosoul vibe stopped being authentic awhile back when they went full commercial and mainstream.
