New Jack Swing
New Jack Swing is a style of
rhythm and blues or
soul music,whether funk,disco,etc.,(popular from the late 1980s-early/mid-1990s)that combines with rap/hip-hop.Also called new jack r&b and swingbeat, the term was coined either by journalist/New Jack City co-writer Barry Michael Cooper or music artist/producer Teddy Riley who invented this style in the experiment of integrating hip-hop rhythms, samples and production techniques with the urban contemporary r&b sound. Like other urban artists have done from the beginning before the arrival of new jack came to be known. Some of the songs only had hip-hop beats, some had rap sections with the choruses. To conclude this precisely, it's mellifluously soulful solo or harmonizing vocals sung over funky, rap rhythms.
