In a world where hype rules everything around us, it’s easy to overlook (and neglect) lesser-known music gems. Some waaaay more slept-on than others, it’s only right that we celebrate essential R&B records that rarely get the praise they deserve.

Here are the ten most underrated R&B songs. Take a look.[bossip_ad_a]

Destiny’s Child “Get On The Bus”

Timbaland was light-years ahead of his time on this mind-bending single off the “Why Do Fools Fall In Love” soundtrack. Released 15 years ago, it could drop today and be a game-changer.[bossip_ad_a]

Co-Ed Feat. T.I. “Roll With Me (Remix)”

Sooooo many body-rolls and slow grinds were done to this. SO MANY. Not quite a “hit” nationally, this ATL classic embodies everything you LOVE about the city and late-’90s R&B.[bossip_ad_a]

Solange “I Decided”

Always “Beyonce’s little sister,” never Solange—gorgeous style maven/refreshingly-eclectic artist—she proved she had “it” with her slept-on “Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams” album.[bossip_ad_a]
