Ne-Yo is a hip hop industry staple, being the man behind many of the biggest classic bars in hip hop and R&B throughout the years. Shaffer Chimere Smith through time has dropped #1 hits, critically acclaimed albums, flexed his philanthropic guns and acted in a number of shows, all while producing beats we’ve come to vibe with- what’s best of all? His hip hop style is on point, a perfect player of the game.

Whether it was penning the critically successful “Let Me Love You” single track or heading up a seat alongside Jennifer Lopez on World of Dance, Ne-Yo has been slaying from the moment he hit mainstream success in 2004. Shortly after, he was approached by Def Jams and it’s all gravy from there. Whether it’s working with Rihanna, Pitbull, Jennifer Hudson or other major R&B artists, Ne-Yo undoubtedly is one of the most influential behind the scenes artists out there.

Ne-Yo is the epitome of classic hip hop style mixed with the smooth image of a true baller. Scope those lines, he’s got on a classic hip hop watch and a thin, long iced out tennis  chain. Known to cop a bling bling pendant from time to time, Ne-Yo is about that hip hop style and it shows. If you’re looking to rep like your favorite rapper or artist, Hip Hop Bling has the iced out pieces to make sure you’re repping like the biggest G’s in the game.

Today Ne-Yo hasn’t stopped that flow, in 2017 he dropped a couple of singles and continues to act to this day- the man is mixing it up between penning songs for other artists, getting in the studio itself and helping to raise up a new generation of artists, wherever he goes.
