SCRATCHTHEBLOCK PRESENTS: R&B VICE (Hosted by Tim & Bob)
Imma real lover of rhythm n blues ,in particular 90′s and 00′s r&b ! Slowly but surely it started a regression process due to a mixture of genres that distorted the genuine essence!
Vice R&B arises from the idea to put together some pretty tracks from a few years ago,don’t forgetting the good r&b tracks from the present,with a sneak peek of the impressive Tim & Bob production!
Sterling Simms represents an artist with a brilliant talent but despite of his impressive vocal skills he is so underrated! He made his first steps in the music industry as songwriter and he started to earn popularity in 2008 thanks his featuring with Jay-Z for the track Dig A Hole from the album Kingdome Come although he released in 2006 a big smash with Sean Paul of YoungBloodz called Jump Off. Recently he worked with MMG rapper Meek Mill for the r&b club banger Tell Her Again (listen to it on So Solid R&B). I suggest you My Ego produced by team-duo Tim & Bob! What do you think about his voice? Dope or Nope?
After Sterling i’d like to present you anotha artist named : Bertell! Houston r&b crooner with his considerable accomplishment conquered Capitol Records that recruited him! Who discovered him? Bertell talent is discovered by super producer Bryan Michael Cox that started to work with Bertell for the album Goin Hard! Let me serve you up Bet Not Be from The Frat Party, The Waffle House, The Dorm Room
Anotha artist,anotha Tim & Bob production! Ex member of 90′s r&b group Jodeci, Dalvin Degrate shows us that also as solo artist he can make very pretty things! Virginia artist joined with Def Jam Records releasing the album Met.A.Mor.Phic from which i choose Not My Girl
One of the most great r&b project is certainly,Face Off a collabo arisen by the fellowship between ex B2K member,Omarion and Snoop Dogg protegè , Bow Wow! The mixtape is a wonderful proof of their talent thanks also the help by several mega producers like: L.T Hutton ( Snoop Dogg,Eazy-E,Nate Dogg,Bone Thugs N Harmony,2Pac,Da Brat) , Jim Jonsin (Lil Wayne,T.I,Trina,Trick Daddy,Pitbull) e T-Pain (Akon,Chris Brown,One Chance).
The next track is a sexy as hell masterpiece performed by beautiful songstress Mya Harrison and produced by Tim & Bob: One Night!
Probably So Far Gone by Drake is the best mixtape of the last decade! I appreciated every single tracks of the project, from Succesful with Trey Songz to Best I Ever Had produced by Boi-1nda,from Houstatlantavegas to Night Off featuring Lloyd! This mixtape spotlighted also some canadian talented producers , in particular Noah “40″ Shebib ( def one of my faves). Let you cradle with downtempo beat of Lust For Life. For the realization of this gem,Noah tooks the sample of a success by Tears For Fears,Idea As Opiates
In 2006, veteran neo-soul artist Brian McKnight released one of his best album 10 ( but i don’t forget also U Turn). This studio album is a lil bit different compared to the others because there is more r&b groove unlike neo-soul predominant component of the past albums. Infact B McKnight recruited r&b beatmakers like B.Cox and Tim & Bob that guarenteed a catchy final product ! I choose the sensuous flow of Used To Be My Girl!
“Back to the present” with golden-boy Justin Timberlake . He was very busy between 2012 and 2013 preparing his coming-back with the double volume of The 20/20 Experience teamed up with his longstanding musical partner Timbaland! I have to admit that the first time i heard the lead single Suit and Tie i was not sure of its quality! In a second time i revised my opinion realizing that i was in front of an elegant and original Timbo production! I think that J.T could make something really impressive turning into neo-soul vibes ,like Robin Thicke! Is it an utopia? Well waiting for this change , i recommend you the powerful track entitled Only When I Walk Away
How many of you ever listen something Ashe Watson? Mmmm, maybe no one! Alabama artist got on his hands eclectic skills as songwriter,producer,multi-instrumentalist (trumpet,piano, guitar and drum) and last but least he got a too fucking goosebump voice! Famous team producer The Underdogs (Justin Timberlake,Fantasia,Mariah Carey,Tyrese,Mario) discovered Ashe Watson talent and started to work with him! What’s your impression about Baby produced by Tim and Bob?
I’ve already introduced you PARTYNEXTDOOR ,artist from the OVO’s Drake roster! He strucks me with his self-titled debut mixtape. The sexy and downtempo ovo flow permeates the entire project as you can see with the masterful single Over Here featuring Drizzy!
Jump in the past with the melancholy beat of the certified gold 98s smooth track Be Careful by Chicago singer Sparkle enhanced by R.Kelly laid back vocals. The beat is a sweet shock to all your body!
One of the r&b artist of the present that never let me down is surely, Trey Songz! Excellent vocal quality and human forge of successes. In 2007 he linked up with masterful producers: Danja,Bei Maejor,The Runners,Eric Hudson,Stargate and Dre & Vidal to release his sophomore album called Trey Day. Enjoy with the luscious Role Play.
During his opening career U.K singer Taio Cruz made great things! Departure was a flawless proof of his genuine talent as songwriter,producer,arranger and performer! I discovered Taio Cruz in 2003 thanks UK producer Nitin Sawhney single Rainfall!
Lloyd Polite is anotha of my faves r&b performer! My Valentine is a really smooth romantic ballad included on Lloyd sophomore album called Street Love!
I want to spread another track by Ashe Watson: Don’t Get It featuring Ryan Leslie talented protegè Uness that we introduced you during the presentation of Yamill album Welcome To My Spaceship
