Raheem DeVaughn: Next Steps

Raheem DeVaughn's catalog runs rich with simmering songs of love, but that's not his only message. He croons to his beloved over the soul symphony of “Mo Better” and adds a sexy hook to The Game's “Touchdown.” But he pays tribute to the family and friends who make him strong on “The Love Experience,” and he samples The Isley Brothers' cosmic funk gem “Footsteps in the Dark” for “Until,” a memorable condemnation of social judgment.
