One of the pioneering founders of neo soul.

Why does neo soul matter? The most meaningful music to be on the radio is neo soul. The most original art that is coming out in the 2020s is neo soul and branching off into so many directions with artists like:

Summer Walker
Frank ocean
Jill Scott
H.E.R
SZA
Childish Gambino
Musiq soulchild
Bryce tiller
Chris brown
Drake
Floetry
Ella mai

These artists are the most original and beautiful music coming out today of ANY genre as of 2023 to push through the mainstream . Even Indie has become whispery victim
Minded and repetitive yet these artists are standing out as true introspective and daring originals. Creating new and real Melodie's that touch the soul reflect the world around them and define our current zeitgeist. Just like Erykah was doing in the 90s over 20 years prior.

In 100 Years tho it's not the most popular genre now, it will be the most remembered, as all things ahead of their time are.
