Country, hip-hop and R&B all share a common ancestor in gospel music, and many stars who've dabbled in multiple genres — Jelly Roll and T-Pain, for two — cite gospel as a big influence.

Oladokun has branched into hip-hop territory with her recent single “ Fortune Favors the Bold,” which includes Nashville rapper Tim Gent on a verse over a seriously ’90s boom-bap beat.

While R&B is clearly alive, no one can deny that the genre has changed drastically. Hip-hop’s influence may be the major difference.

Wiggins' sound takes cues from late-'90s and early-2000s R&B and hip-hop. Melodies are coated in nostalgia, with piano notes and chord progression that evoke passion.

Funk Fest, described as the "ultimate Old School R&B/Hip Hop outdoor music experience," will take place from June 21-22. Doors open at 2 p.m. each day, with music starting at 4 p.m.
