Not sure however you’d like to classify it (dark sounds corny af), but from 2011-2016 the R&B landscape was getting blurred by the melodic sounds which were new and refreshing at the time. It’s been ran into the ground now and a lot of the pioneers have gone in different directions, but this music will always have a special place in my heart. Come post your favorites ITT. As usual I’ll probably throw a AM playlist together based off the reception

Aka the genre Drake invented

Miss those days. Was in my late teens/early 20s and the music was really soundtracking my life man. It’ll always have a special place to me even if it’s gotten a little stale

Toronto’s contribution as a whole to shaping this sound is unreal. I’d love to go one day just to appreciate the inspiration for the music

PND said the weeknd invented it

The Dream invented it
