Sam's R&B

R&B R&D: The Recording Academy held a "Grammy conversation" about the state—and fate—of R&B earlier this week, and our own hench-hipster, Samantha Hissong, was there. She reports on the key issues discussed by the panelists above; you'll find her story here. Seen wondering if appearing on our site could be the worst thing to happen to the genre yet are (l-r) LiV Warfield, writer/producer/GRAMMY winner LaShawn Daniels, Ledisi, Tyrese and moderator Quddus.
