The entire world need not front like true-school R&B isn’t currently on music’s endangered species list. However, as long as artists such as August Alsina, Bryson Tiller and Rashad continue to keep it traditional without sacrificing the trendy curve, there won’t be a conversation about extinction anytime soon.

Over the course of 15 tracks, the Columbus, Ohio studio wizard layers smoothness over top of subtle and throws in dashes of Hip-Hop seasoning for good measure. The opener “Libations Pt. 1 & 2” will draw listeners from all distinguished tastes in and the powerful rap ballad, “BLACK Life” is unfortunately all too relevant in 2015.

Stream the aptly titled The Quiet Loud down below and cop the full project on iTunes for your day-to-day devices. It’s all about elevating the game.
