Honestly this is one of the more interesting years for mainstream music in a while because there have been some interesting new directions from artists who could have played it safe, not to mention the prominence of the international market shaking things up.
I am happy to see the international segment booming, im from Toronto so there is a lot of exposure and popularity of international artists/songs here, I met with my NY family friends a few weeks ago and its crazy how different the music tastes are despite the two cities being so close

As far as rap goes YB the only rapper I care to listen to. When YSL Rico came I lost interest in rap period.
R&b has been solid so far tho.
