The report also notes that His latest album, Roadrunner, is all languid reggae basslines and come-hither lyricism From Tampa, Florida Recommended if you like Kwn, Tyla, Odeal Up next Performing in Dallas, Texas, 1 November Destin Conrad has had a busy couple of years: three albums, one Grammy nomination and a string of collaborations with fellow R&B up-and-comers such as Bellah and Nia Smith.
