superdave, try this simple exercise.

get you a nice slow or mid tempo beat pattern going.

then hit this chord prog/vamp

(standard rb - white key chord vamp)

amin7 => emin7 ==> dmin7 and repeat
a-c-e-g e-g-b-d d-f-a-c


let that loop ride and then play with the rhythm.

throw some melodies on top (using white keys)


you could use that chord vamp for verse and chorus.

on chorus, add the bass line or 808, double up on the hats.


try that exercise and you should get a good feel.

good stuff man

Buy some sheet music music from an R&B artist. Maybe some R&B song you like might have the sheet music for sale. That way, you will be able to see what chord progressions were used.
