What is "rnbass"

RnBass (or R&Bass,) is a movement and contemporary music genre that is the modernized form of traditional R&B music. Described by Vibe (magazine) as a breath of fresh air for the R&B genre, RnBass consists of tonal singing, melodic harmonies, along with heavy 808's that replace the 'blues' aspect of Rhythm and Blues. Coined by Bay Area producer J Maine, the RnBass musical style has garnered critical attention over the last several years and has been popularized with urban audiences across America by Los Angeles producer DJ Mustard. Despite originating in the West Coast, namely the Bay Area and Los Angeles, RnBass producers and artists across the globe continue to develop R&B with the modern RnBass genre.
