I'm a child of the 70's. R&B to me is Curtis Mayfield. Then a transition came in and I was part of the Hip Hop era when Sugar and Kane came out. That was a good transition for me. Then now R&B is Hip Hop and Hip Hop is R&B.
I always believe when you got something to say, that's when you put something out.
There are a lot of new artists that I really dig and I think they really understand what R&B and Soul music is about.
