In 2017, for the first time in music history, Hip-hop and R&B surpassed Rock and Roll music in popularity and sales. With the help of southern rappers "Trap music" has been the most dominating sound in today's music industry. Unfortunately, its infectious beat has drastically changed how we view Rhythm and Blues. Singers have now abandoned the traditional element of R&B to incorporate the heavy usage of synthesizers and drums machine beats. What happened to the smooth melodies of sensuality? And where are the authentic male Rhythm and Blues artists? Joining us on this discussion are past guests Producer/Engineer Sammayonthebeat and Singer-Songwriter Ashanta Denise as they share their thoughts on the current state of R&B music.
