Here're some R&B + Rap artistes that I personally like/listen/support
R&B :
- Aoyama Thelma ; if you look past her only well known hit to date Soba ni Iru ne , her discography is actually quite solid , especially her upbeat no.s
- BENI
- JASMINE
- Kato Miliyah
- Kuroki Meisa ; I don't know if she's counted as R&B ? I think so haha if not it will be edgy pop
- Matsushita Yuya
- Suga Shikao ; he's more towards soul & funk but from time to time he incorporates R&B in his stuff
Rap :
- Hilcrhyme
- SEAMO ; I like the duet ROCK THIS WAY that he did with SPYAIR last year . Classic case of Rap meets Rock
- SHUN ; not the 1 whom left EXILE , this SHUN is much more younger lol
