One of our writers called Venom has been doing articles about Old School #1 draft picks for the genres of hip hop and reggae. Maybe Venom’s next topic will be about the long running genre of Rhythm and Blues aka R & B. There has also been discussion recently about who is the King Of Toronto Hip Hop? Singer Tank recently went on Instagram and declared his current top kings of R & B.
Tank declared the top 4 with the following criteria:
Vocal Ability
Sales
Longevity
Consistency
Albums
Undisputed International Presence
Innately A Crooner
Relevancy (whether you like said person or not)
VOCAL ABILITY

1. Still isn’t 30
2. Hasn’t missed Billboard in 13 years
3. Just went 2x platinum on a barely marketed album
4. Had a worldwide top 5 streamed album of 2018 without releasing one
We gotta deal in facts
