Afrofuturism and Post-Soul Possibility in Black Popular Music
This article focuses on the relationship between culture and the evolution of characteristically "black" music. The association between the two is taken on from various angles including a direct response to a challenge from Alexander G. Weheliye.

Rihanna
This source is a biography on an artist who's genre identifies with the genre of Rhythm and Blues. The article is not a long one however, and lacks substantial information on the genre itself.

The Sonnet in Bob Dylan's Tangled Up in Blue
This source includes valuable information about the early days of R&B and it's relationship to what came before. Through the exemplification of Bob Dylan, an American blues artist, the author explores the nature of poetry that is present in blues music. This article explicitly dissects a song by Bob Dylan himself to illustrate the rhyme scheme.
Alan Freed
This is another biography of an artist who identifies with the genre of R&B, however Alan Freed is an artist who entered his time of popularity in the 1920s. This makes him by far the oldest example of that could be in the paper. The article reflects events in his life and his influence in the world of R&B.
Rhythm and Blues
This article is a general overview of the world of R&B in a more concise form. This article would require follow up articles to ensure more information and a better amount of involvement. This article is too sparse in detail but gives a good starting off point.
