Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio, Vol. 13: R&B Leaders of the New School

I can't believe there are 13 of these now!

Hip Hop has changed dramatically over the years--almost everything is digital now and rappers can make music to anything because creativity seems endless. I welcome these changes with open arms and although there are a lot of sh*tty artists clogging the Internet, there are also incredible talents that can reach a large audience easier than ever before.

What few seem to notice is that the same movement is happening with R&B.  There are tons of amazing singers and songwriters that are participating in the progressive evolution of this genre that seems to be expanding just as quickly as rap.  I'd like to consider the standouts in R&B our "Leaders of the New School," although many who are just starting to gain major attention have been around in the industry for quite some time.

Check out a Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio, Vol. 13, a showcase of these R&B Leaders of the New School, which includes music from Miguel, Jhené Aiko, Teedra Moses, Frank Ocean, BJ The Chicago Kid, The Weeknd, and more!

New Music: CJ Hilton - Cold Summer

CJ Hilton, Baltimore's newest talent, turned up the heat earlier this summer with the crazy Nas featured track, "So Fresh," and now he's flipped a 180 and decided to freeze us with the Salaam Remi produced title track "Cold Summer."  Sounds like a smash to me!

New Music Video: CJ Hilton is "So Fresh"

I've been trying to put everyone on this song since April and it's finally got a video!!

Baltimore, MD raised singer CJ Hilton is the best of both worlds-- he has the voice of an old school soul singer and the appeal and perspective of a 21st century star.  Watch the video for "So Fresh" above, and check him out on the very first edition of GUE Radio.




CJ will be on BET's 106 & Park TOMORROW to drop of this video, so be sure to tune in.
