This Philadelphia neo-soul smoothie is more than a quarter-century into his recording career, and the days of R&B smashes like “Halfcrazy” and “Dontchange” are probably behind him. But he still has a gift for basking in pure vocal sensation, and seems willing to try new things. His latest,Victims and Villains, is a collaboration with Hit-Boy, better known as a hip-hop producer. (He’s been Nas’s go-to partner in the rapper’s well-received middle-aged.) On this three-night stand at the Dakota, Musiq will have time to stretch out a little. (RACKET)
