Call it R&B with a hip-hop urgency.
"We're just making sure that I'm felt in the streets as much as I'm felt on the soulful level," says songbook/ recording artist Al-B. The Nothern,Virginia phenom always had a musical career in mind.
As a child, there were no rigorous voice or piano lessons.
All through in high school, Al-b was doing things most kids his age weren't doing: Songwriting, Rehearsing, and Teaching himself vocal training.
"I just got so into R&B at the time," says Al-b.
"I was listening to straight rap, like RZA, Biggie, Jay-Z, and Nas." The only R&B artist who caught his attention was Musiq Soulchild.
"When it comes to R&B, he kills it.
He gives you every part of the soul he can think of," says Al-B, whose elastic tenor conjures a younger, fresher Soulchild. He entered, and won, a total of 10 local talent shows along with American Idol and Missy Elliott's UPN Television show Road To Stardom.
