When's the last time you heard a quality R&B record? The genre has virtually disappeared over the course of the last several years, and it's presence in Chicago is carried by less than a handful of names. Today we can add one more name to that list. Many people know Vince from his position within Classick Studios, but he also has some incredible talent in front of the mic. Expect more from Vince in the near future. - Go Ill Blog

Chicago's very own Vince Nantes is doing big things at a young age. He's putting out music that falls along similar paths of artists like Drake, Frank Ocean, and The Dream, adding more of an R&B flavor. He's been singing since the age of 5, and writing his own material since he was 13. His track "Girl Next Store" harkens back to the days of New Edition, and "Text At Night" reminds me of something they might have done. "What Does It Mean" has that newer sound I initially mentioned, rooted more in hip hop. The style of music Nantes creates ala "Turn It Up," would fit perfectly on a local station like B96, or WGCI. Actually, it would work well on any "Rhythmic Top 40" station that was hip and supported local flavor. Soon enough they will have to play his jams if he keeps at it, they are too good to keep hidden. Check him out on Soundcloud and listen for yourself. Head over to Bandcamp, show him some love, and DL that mixtape too! - Chicago Now

Homesick is local Chicago artist Vince Nantes' latest single and a slab of classic, straight-down-the-middle R&B. Produced by St. Louis' Urban Legendz, the track is evidence that Chicago is home to a potential R&B star in the making. - UR CHICAGO MAGAZINE ONLINE

I don’t about you guys, but I love my R&B/hip-hop to be smooth and have a unique flow. Sure, I love electronic music and (sometimes) its incorporation into the R&B and hip-hop genres but it’s the authentic stuff that really tickles my fancy. So when Vince Nantes (www.vincenantes.com), a member of the Classick Studios Chicago team, left “Homesick” in my inbox last night … I knew I had to share it with everyone.

The track features production from St. Louis’ own Urban Legendz (who received the Riverfront Times’ Producers of the Year 2011 award) and some smooth and flawless vocal delivery from Nantes. If Chicago has a promising upstart who could easily set the R&B stratosphere ablaze, Vince Nantes is your man. Pair him up with an A-list producer, and you’re sure to wind up with some R&B bliss on your hands.
