RnB was a big thing in the 90s. Then before it had a chance to breathe, it was 2010’s and Frank Ocean bought it back under the guise of a smooth kind of hip-hop.

What do you get when two of the coolest people on planet earth join forces? If you’re talking about Jay-Z & Beyoncé I guess you get Blue Ivy but in the case of soul sisters Janelle Monáe & Erykah Badu you get this ridiculously good jam and jaw dropping video below. So good.
