It seems that new R&B is more hood than ever and leading the pack is the dreadlocked and tatted, Los Angeles singer, producer, and sometimes rapper Ty Dolla $ign. A myriad of Drake, the Weeknd, and Ice Cube best describes what his music sounds like. It's smooth enough to pull you in and raunchy enough to keep you interested. This is definitely not your mother's R&B. Though Ty is now gaining notoriety in the urban markets as a solo artist, many are familiar with his work without knowing exactly who he was. He produced and wrote the popular "Toot It and Boot It" hit by Atlanta rapper, YG. To date, he has released two critically acclaimed mix tapes Beach House and Beach House 2 since late 2012. He recently dropped the Beach House EP on January 21st.
Ty was genetically passed the musical genes with his father being a musician in the funk band, Lakeside. Not to be pigeoned into one category, he also plays bass, drums, and the guitar. Now signed to Wiz Khalifa's Taylor Gang Records, Ty is gaining steady popularity with his single "Paranoid" which features B.O.B. The creative visuals and relatable lyrics provide the perfect recipe for his come up.
Check out Ty Dolla's Paranoid below and be sure to give the Beach House series a listen.
