Uh oh! Usher released his new trap influenced album “A” and of course we had things to say about it. We also talked about new music from the face of R&B Ella Mai’s debut album as well as Keith Sweat’s new single. The whole podcast talks about bridging the gap between trap music and the R&B that we all grew up loving. We talk about Usher’s career extensively (as usual) and try to figure out if it’s time that we give up on expecting another traditional R&B album from him. We also talk about SunnyD and Tang for all the food lovers out there. We also talk about YouTube comments that we read from some of R&B’s saddest songs including Boyz II Men’s “Doin’ Just Fine”.
