My Take
PartyNextDoor is one of those artists I credit for shaping a whole sound without always getting the spotlight he deserves. As the first signing to Drake's OVO Sound back in 2013, the Mississauga native helped define that moody, late-night Toronto R&B aesthetic that ended up everywhere. His real weight, to me, is in the writing and production: he's quietly behind hits for huge names, which is often where the true craft lives. I prefer his atmospheric, hazy songwriting to flashier rap, and I think his influence on contemporary R&B is bigger than his own chart numbers suggest. A genuine architect of a vibe.
