1Xtra's R&B Mix with DJ Silk
1Xtra in the Mix... with DJ Silk
The UK's DJ Silk represents R&B's different expressions and influence from his part of the world, the UK, with an exclusive 1-hour mix.
Contemporary R&B is a genre that fused Gospel, Soul and Funk to create Rhythm and Blues in the early 70s. Artists like Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield and Norman Whitfield pioneered the radio-friendly sound that made Black Music easier to market. Nearly 50 years later, R&B is a core part of any major label roster and continues to find new voices on every continent.
From Usher to H.E.R, Tiwa Savage to Tems, Beverley Knight to Nao. Every nation has R&B representatives in every language.
