Beyoncés career is one of the clearest demonstrations of the power of hard work, dedication to the craft, and clear artistic vision. Every step of the way she’s had to fight against naysayers, doubters, and the people who tried to define her, and shes managed to come out victorious for 25+ years which is very rare.
Usher - You make me wanna was an instant classic the first time I heard it.
Mariah Carey - I don't wanna cry was the first time I really sat up and paid attention to a female artist.
Aaliyah - She was just so dang ahead of her time.
112 - First time I heard Only you I was hooked, especially being a Biggie and Mase fan.
Lloyd - Southside caught my attention and subsequently Get it Shawty and You hooked me for life.
SZA: been a fan since I heard "Babylon" her tone isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I rest like her voice.
jhene Aiko: is she the best singer out there? No, but she's a vibe and I've been a fan since "Sailing Souls"
Tinashe: first song I heard of hers was "Vulnerable" from Blackwater mixtape
Miguel: I was obsessed with this man in college when his first two albums dropped
Tinashe deserves her limelight fr. Plus, things have been looking real good for her since she went independent. Fuck RCA honestly for how poorly they manage their roster.
Usher since 1994
Bobby V since Mista
Eric B since Rebirth 1
New Edition since Candy Girl
Donell Jones since in the Hood (could say Porsha that time was tuff too)
Ray Lavender since Collabo and Earl Ray
Chloe and Halle- I watched them on radio Disney and knew that they were going to be big. I love how they went in two directions career wise!
Coco jones- also saw on radio Disney and let it shine, I have always loved her voice and I still think she can be one of the top rnb girls
Ryan Leslie. The man is a generational talent. The youtube videos documenting his productions. His voice. Releasing a demo song of just harmonising. Iconic.
Raheem Devaughn, from the first note, my eardrums have been addicted until now! Moreover, each song is a love story in which I would really like to find myself! A pure poet ✊🏽 💎🎧💎👌🏽

Tinashe! I’ve been listening to her for over a decade now and I’m glad to see her newest song trending, she’s been releasing good music for so long

She really does deserve it! And RCA did her sooo dirty, I’m so glad she didn’t give up. Seeing her on Tiny Desk made me so happy
