Our Editor's Take

R&B Money is a podcast for people who love rhythm and blues (R&B) music. The hosts are J. Valentine and Tank. They are singers and songwriters, and Tank is also a producer. The pair have great chemistry, love, and enthusiasm for the genre.

In each episode, J. and Tank interview a different R&B artist. Past guests include legends Jeffrey Osborne and Babyface. The hosts have also interviewed newer stars like Kiana Ledé and James Fauntleroy. They honor those who influenced them and celebrate those who are inspiring.

There's a nice balance of friendly fun and great questions on R&B Money. One episode features singer Ari Lennox. Tank and J. appreciate the vividness of her songwriting. They tease her about some of her lyrics that she hadn't realized could be suggestive. All three laugh a lot.

In another episode, the guest is singer Tyrese, who worked with both J. and Tank in the past. They dedicate two episodes to Tyrese and are happy to have him on the show. After some applause, Tyrese warns that the interview will be emotional and authentic. Everyone in the studio is eager to hear this conversation.

Singer Musiq Soulchild tells of a House of Blues gig early in his career. An audience member who admired his work had managed to get backstage. That fan was sitting on the floor waiting for Musiq when he came out of his dressing room. The surprise is that this fan went on to be someone very famous later on.

As Tank and J. proclaim, they are the authority on all things in the R&B world. Their knowledge, expertise, and connectedness make R&B Money an exciting listen. Most episodes are a little over an hour long, and new ones drop once a week.
