As a music person (of color) and someone who loves music, I’ve gotten into so many artists who deserve so much recognition.
I don’t listen to much rap music but when I do, I love a good sound and meaning lyrics and so much relatability. One of the few I can listen to without hearing anything derogatory.
Mysta Pat
They have become one of my favorite bands in the last few years. Wish I knew about them sooner but my favorite son is Young Bride.
Midlake (Official Site)
The best mix (I believe) I have heard in the last 10 years. I love the lyrics, emotional maturity and sleek production from both Phonte’ and Nicolay!
The Foreign Exchange
One of my favorite artists in the soul category. That’s the grown-people music with such beautiful vocals, relatable lyrics, and always have amazing live performance.
Eric Roberson
Like a mix of Dwele & Craig David to me with a smooth and jazzy sound I can listen all day and soulful voice. He’s been around for a while but it’s one of those things when you stumble upon, you’re hooked.
Beatchild
I’ve been listening to Lo-Fi music for the last 10 years and this is one artist I always come back to. The sound just leaves all my worries at the door.
L'indécis
I stumbled upon her music several years ago. I love the intimate and smooth sound with maturity and pop.

I love when art and music come together. It’s a mix of funk, passion, and some eccentricity. What I’ve notice is that there are more British artist in R&B and I’m loving it.
Dornik
I stumbled upon them when they were doing cover songs of my favorite artists. I love a neo-soul sound with a laid back kind of groove.
Moonchild
The beats on his albums have incredible pace. Their steadiness is great for putting your mind at ease. I listen to it all day and repeat. Sometimes you just want a beautiful sound with no words.

This is a low-key music find. I can’t stop playing his music. So much creativity energy in the sounds of hip hop soul.
Seige Monstracity: Digital Music
Very underrated but love the sound. Every track feels fresh to me. It has a bouncy and acoustic-oriented sound.
