i swear every r&b thug wanted to be the next jodeci. dru hill, jagged edge, jahiem, and many others have attempted but failed. it aint that the music wasnt good enough, but nobody was sold on the whole 'bad boy' image (i wasn't atleast) . hell, k-ci & jojo couldnt even be the next jodeci. all comparisons aside, what im getting to is this new r&b duo, Ty & Kory. i first heard these cats on Black Milk's Popular Demand LP on a joint called "U" and i played the sh*t outta that song. the way these dudes harmonize is ridiculous. some studio nerds may differ, but Ty & Kory provide what other singers can't, the human element. and what i mean by that is just that raw, real, natural talent. these guys obviously dont sound like they're trained vocally, but the natural talent is undeniable. i know this may sound like a wierd comparison but think Bobby Womack (Ty) and Raphael Saadiq (Kory). which brings me back to my first point. they aint jodeci but they are damn sure close to it. and what drove jodeci's LPs was the production. no outsiders, just straight Bassment (DeVante's production group). Ty & Kory's got a solid team backing them, Jack Sample Pros, which creates their own genre of R&B... raw & banging. here's some new sh*t to get y'all acquainted...
Ty & Kory - I Can't Let You Go
Ty & Kory - Making Love
