Carrera Shante is Philly’s next hip-hop soul singer

Hip Hop Soul is a sub-genre of R&B that fuses soul, blues and gospel sounds over hip-hop beats. Thanks to artist such as Mary J. Blige, TLC, R. Kelly, Montell Jordan, and Jodeci, hip hop soul exploded in the mid 90s and is still considered a classic genre to this day. It seems as if one up-and-coming Philly artist is planning on bringing the vintage sound back to limelight. Throughout the The Vintage Tape, you can hear songbird Carrera Shante impressively using her deeply soulful voice over classic hip hop beats. You know it’s the kind of stuff that will keep her listeners and audience rocking all night long. Check out Shante’s “Just Friends” music video below, and catch her performing at Warmdaddy’s on Thursday, November 20th. Doors open at 7:30pm, the show starts at 8 and tickets can purchased at the door for $20; more information can be found here.
