Jodeci, headed by Devante Swing is The definitive 90s RnB group. Styled (& managed) by Puff, signed 2 Uptown (RIP Harrell), Jodeci r often referred 2 as the original RnB Bad Boys (all respect 2 Bobby )

Their sound was defined by lush harmonies, intricate melodies, n gorgeous synth work (courtesy of boss player, mr swing)

now fast forward 2 “pluggnb” or whatever the kids r calling it

same sounds, different drums

from direct samples (carti, drake, b. tiller (aka pen griffey) , etc.) to indirect influence (every rnb star since roughly 1996) jodeci is everywhere.

no billie jean here, we know whose kids these are

idk man but i’ll tell you what, Jodeci the father of the modern PluggN’B Sound

No one making pluggnb has better vocal outcomes than Jodeci

I see it tho

I think pluggnb just makes cartoonish (not an insult) versions of general late 80’s early-mid 90’s black r&b Melodies

And jodeci is in that

Devante’s/Swing Mobs production techniques and how a lot of trickled down into modern urban music of the past 25 or so years need a good documentary or YouTube breakdown tho lol

one man jodeci.

Sure why not

I wås thinking about Bobby Brown 2 tbh

yeahh especially with s*** like this

Considering the amount of these kids that were born because of Jodeci music they did in a way

End of Transmission

Just realized I referred to jodeci as a singular person had to edit real quick before I got roasted

beats really carrying these niggas

the only good vocalist who makes PluggNB is Corey Lingo and he originated the sound

im gonna get crucified for this but Autumn is this generations D'Angelo

best pluggnb song aot

elaborate my friend

End of Transmission

Bone Thugs n Harmony and Lil Peep deserve more credit than the Cry For You niggas

What does the “plugg” mean?

What the f*** is plug in b

like mexikodro/early carti type stuff

End of Transmission

singing on beats with 90s R&B melodies & plugg drums
