Bobby V

Bobby V's smooth R&B has always won me over. Born in Jackson, Mississippi and raised in Atlanta, he formed the group Mista as a teenager before signing with Ludacris' Disturbing tha Peace, a real grind-it-out path. His Bobby Valentino-era vocals captured the exact mood of mid-2000s R&B, sweet and unhurried. I like that a Clark Atlanta University graduate brings a thoughtful side to the genre, and that he survived its shifting trends by reinventing his name rather than fading. To me he is no novelty hit-maker but a genuine craftsman who earned his living singing. A perfect late-night voice.
