ThrowBLKs: PARTYNEXTDOOR Changes R&B Forever With 'PND1' & 'PND2'

📀 ThrowBLKs is back with a deep dive into the origins of one of Ontario’s most influential voices — PARTYNEXTDOOR. We're taking it back to PND 1 & PND 2, the projects that laid the foundation for PARTY’s signature sound and helped define the decade's new wave of moody, lo-fi R&B.

🔊 We’re talking:
✅ The Early Years of PARTY – from his beginnings as a songwriter to his signing with OVO Sound and the challenge that comes with handling success as a songwriter.
✅ The Fan-Fueled Debate – Did listeners' early comparisons to The Weeknd help carve his own lane outside of pop superstardom?
✅ Track-By-Track Breakdown – Revisiting the PND 1 & PND 2 standouts and ranking the records we’d put in a battle against any in his catalog.
✅ The 2010s Strip Club Era – How PARTY’s music fit perfectly into this time, and the allure of the Miami nightlife for out of towners.
✅ Surprising Samples – The 90's R&B gems and unexpected electronic flips behind these two classics and how they shaped the production.

🎶 Whether you were outside when "Break from Toronto" first dropped or you're just now catching up on one of the blueprints of modern R&B, this episode is a must-listen. Tap in!
