Hmm, y'all are naming everything I have. Any other more obscure/slept on shyt? Like how was the last dwele or bilal? I'm also lost about what's going on in this genera outside of the same ppl who been around at least since 2010

Traditional R&B is a dying genre. Seems like most artists now are either going the Euro techno pop route (Usher, Chris Brown, etc.) or the "alt. R&B" route (The Weeknd, Miguel, etc.)

Last Dwele album was decent. Here's a few other good ones...

Daniel Merriweather - Love & War
Anthony David - Acey Duecy
Darien Brockington - Somebody to Love
Jesse Boykins III - The Beauty Created
Raheem Devaughn - Love Behind the Melody
Any of the Cocaine 80s mixtapes
