Dallas is hosting its own R&B homecoming with Badu, a native Texan, returning with her latest collaboration with The Alchemist, Before the World Blows. Kwn has been making waves in the genre in 2026 with her And All Pride Aside project, while Destin Conrad, Billboard’s 2026 R&B Rising Star, released his Jamaican-influenced Roadrunner album. Jai'Len Josey earned Billboard’s R&B Up & Comer title in March and followed up with Serial Romantic. Dallas resident Rjthewierdo also dropped his At Least She’s Beautiful LP in April.",
