NOW THAT’S R&B

Friday, May 23 | 9:30PM – 2AM
The Rail – 3796 Fifth Ave, San Diego, CA
Presented by SD Melanin
All R&B. All Night.

Get ready to slow it down, turn it up, and sing your heart out — NOW That’s R&B is back at The Rail for a night dedicated to the smooth sounds and timeless vibes of classic and modern R&B.

On Friday, May 23, join us as we celebrate the icons, anthems, and unforgettable voices that shaped generations — from Aaliyah and Usher to Brandy, TLC, Toni Braxton, Maxwell, and Destiny’s Child. Whether you’re here for the slow jams or the early 2000s bangers, this is a night where every track hits the soul.

Curated by SD Melanin, this event blends community and culture with the music that raised us — bringing a grown & sexy energy to Hillcrest’s nightlife scene.

Expect:

Wall-to-wall R&B hits from the 90s to early 2000s
Music videos, remixes, and deep cuts you forgot you loved
A beautiful, vibrant crowd and chill lounge vibes
No gimmicks. Just R&B.
