Title: Bryson Tiller — Solace & The Vices Album Review

On this episode of R&B Thru Z, Poetic Black dives deep into Bryson Tiller’s expansive 24-track project Solace & The Vices — a dual-minded exploration of introspection, temptation, emotional conflict, and personal evolution.

We break down the album using the signature Part Harmony Rating System, evaluating each track across five core metrics: Production, Mood, Lyrics, Sonic Arrangement, and Sentiment. From the introspective space of Solace to the bold energy of The Vices, this project reveals the full spectrum of Tiller’s artistry — from vulnerability and self-reflection to desire, distraction, and life’s constant tug-of-war.

Poetic Black also delivers:

• A deep Rhythm Report tying today’s cultural and historical context to the music
• A track-by-track analysis with talking points you won’t hear anywhere else
• The official R&B Thru Z album rating
• Black’s No Cap Top Five Alive — the most influential R&B artists this week

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to Tiller’s catalog, this episode breaks down the project in a way that feels like the music — honest, layered, and real.

In this powerful episode of R&B Thru Z, Poetic Black dives deep into one of the most influential albums in music history — The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill by Lauryn Hill. This isn’t just a review — it’s a full cultural breakdown.

Joined by special guest K’Diva — a gifted singer, songwriter, and poet — the conversation explores the album’s production, lyricism, emotional depth, sonic arrangement, and lasting impact on R&B, hip-hop, and soul. Together, we apply the R&B Thru Z Part Harmony rating system, giving this classic a thoughtful, track-by-track evaluation rooted in both technical insight and lived experience.

From themes of love, identity, motherhood, spirituality, and self-worth, to Lauryn Hill’s genre-defying sound, this episode honors the legacy while asking real questions about artistry, vulnerability, and timeless music.

On this episode of R&B Thru Z, Poetic Black takes a deep dive into Finally Over It (The Afterparty) by Summer Walker, the extended chapter of one of modern R&B’s most emotionally honest eras.

This project isn’t just a deluxe — it’s a reflection, a release, and a declaration of growth. Through lush production, vulnerable songwriting, and soul-rooted sonic arrangements, Summer Walker walks listeners through heartbreak, boundaries, healing, and self-clarity. From introspective ballads to confident, no-nonsense records, Finally Over It (The Afterparty) captures the emotional evolution of an artist who is no longer explaining herself — she’s standing on it.

Poetic Black breaks the album down track by track using the Part Harmony Rating System, evaluating each song across five core metrics: production, mood, lyrics, sonic arrangement, and sentiment. The episode also includes The Tally, where the final album score is calculated and compared to other credible five-metric ratings, plus this week’s edition of Black’s No Cap Top Five Alive, spotlighting the R&B artists making the biggest impact right now.

This is R&B with context, culture, and clarity — from A to Z.
