UMM! Yung Bleu is NOT Traditional R&B.

Being Black doesn’t automatically make you Traditional R&B.

There is an obvious difference between a Musiq Soulchild & Yung Bleu who relies heavily on electronic Trap beats & his vocal style isn’t inspired by Gospel/Blues/Jazz/Falsetto Soul Music.

Usher was the last REAL R&B artist of the 2010’s. He stayed TRUE to the traditional style. Trey Songz started off as R&B but a lot of his music is mostly Hip-Hop driven now. So he can’t be in the debate.

There should definitely be a NEW category. Most of the newer artists fall somewhere in-between trap & Indie music nowadays. Basically sub-genres.
