- 129 - TRC: Silk Sonic “An Evening with Silk Sonic” Review
An in depth review of the highly anticipated album from Silk Sonic “An Evening with Silk Sonic.” I know it took me long enough to get around to reviewing this album, but I assure you it is worth the wait. This episode of the pod was all business, no nonsense....... well I don’t wanna lie. Y’all might get some of my best vocals on this one 😂🤣. This is the longest podcast I’ve done in a while, but it was worth it. I enjoyed every minute recording and I hope you all enjoy listening.

Sun, 05 Dec 2021 - 49min - 128 - TRC: Thuy “I hope you see this” Review
An in depth review of the new album from Thuy “I hope you see this.” I got all of your hopes up about the music we would get in November...... and we did get the music we were promised as well as this album that I wasn’t expecting but it was a pleasant surprise. Thuy is an up and comer looking to solidify her status in the R&B game. This album was a good start and a perfect project to accompany her history of singles released over the years. I also talked about the upcoming holidays, all things fantasy and other random stuff (business as usual). Just opinions from my side about the albums (lyrics, concept, jokes, etc). ENJOY!!!

Sat, 13 Nov 2021 - 25min - 127 - TRC: JoJo “trying not to think about it” Review
An in depth review of the new album from JoJo “trying not to think about it.” JoJo back and showing consistency in her album releases. I would love to get something new from her every year. Her growth in the game is incredible and release after release she gains more R&B fans that saw her only as a Pop Star. That was bound to happen when you have a voice like hers. The album has some certified heaters, as well as a few interludes that I wish were longer 🙁 but that doesn’t stop her from getting off a grown and sexy vibe and providing anthems for various relationship situations. I also talked about Getting old, all things fantasy and other random stuff (business as usual). Just opinions from my side about the albums (lyrics, concept, jokes, etc). ENJOY!!!

Sat, 24 Oct 2020 - 53min - 100 - TRC: Trey Songz “Back Home” Review
An in depth review of the new Trey Songz album “Back Home.” Like many I knew this album was on the way but I was not expecting it to get here so quickly after the first Single was released, but in times like these there is no complaining from me. Trey is one of my favorite artists and with him being from VA like myself, that just increases my fandom. At first I thought that 22 tracks (Really only 20) was a bit much, but each track proved to be exactly what I needed in the moment. Excuse me while I’m on my fanboy shit and heap praise upon Trigga Trey LOL. I also talked about card collecting, the GOAT Debate, and other random stuff (business as usual).

An in depth review of the new Bryson Tiller album “Anniversary.” I’ve been waiting on something from Mr. Tiller for quite some time. He is a quality artist with two solid albums before this one that I never really listened to. Most of my thoughts about him as an artist are based on his features with Rihanna/ DJ Khaled and H.E.R. Regardless he has talent and finally released an album so I could give him a thorough review. I also talked about fantasy football, catchy songs, what the hell happened to last weeks podcast and other random stuff (business as usual).

Sun, 11 Oct 2020 - 59min - 98 - TRC: Alicia Keys “Alicia” Review
An in depth review of the new Alicia Keys album “Alicia.” Alicia Keyes has got talent coming out of her ears. Quality singer, great piano player and pretty good song writer. Her first 3-5 albums were great and had a good mix of love, Party, and impactful music. Over the past two albums she’s went in a different direction. It seems like she is trying to give people therapy through music trying to get people to live their lives the right way and live their truth. I feel like she has slowly gone away from what worked for her so well earlier in her career. With that being said I’ve been out on Alicia for some time, but I wanted to see if she would bounce back and give the people what they want. I also talked about my virtual/hybrid classes, selling things on line, my medical scare and other random stuff (business as usual).

After 25 years in the game and only three albums, we all wish we had more of his music to listen to, but sometimes we just have to take what we can get and make the most of it!! This pioneer of Neo Soul has never disappointed musically. Soulful, powerful, gritty, his music highlights the beginning of an era that has grown to be so strong. Come with me on this journey where I jut appreciated what we did receive from D’Angelo and pray that there is more in the future. I was singing (not as much due to my lack of falsetto lol), dancing and talking nonsense as I explored D’Angelo’s entire solo discography and chose my 8favorite songs.

The second installment of my VA R&B Series is here is on deck!!! This time around we make our way to Petersburg, VA and explore the discography of Tremaine Neverson or as we know him, Trey Songz. 15 years in the game, eight albums and countless mixtapes where he is singing and providing a few bars here and there, Trey’s talent was ahead of its time and was the perfect contrast to Chris Brown as the Virginians debuted in the same year. No content is too mature and no lyric is off limits for such a versatile artist. Come with me on this journey where I discovered that I prefer Trey without features and recognized that he is more of a 1a or 1b that a 2 when it comes to the VA R&B Hierarchy! I was singing, dancing and talking nonsense (maybe a little more singing than I wanted to but I enjoyed every minute of it) as I explored Trey Songz’ entire solo discography and chose my 15 favorite songs.

An in depth review of Brandy’s new album “B7.” Ms. Norwood has been away from the game for 8 years now. She did make some guest appearances a couple times but it was nothing to quench the appetite of her true fans. Well here it is, her new 15-track project (3 interludes). 8 years is a long time so I couldn’t just go into this giving her the benefit of the doubt like I have for so many artists before. Vocals are still there and probably always will be, but there are so many other elements to consider. So sit back and enjoy the music, the podcast and lets see if Brandy still has what it takes to be one of R&Bs Divas. I also talked about my bachelors degree, Collecting sports cards, still being on this diet and other random stuff (business as usual).

Sat, 01 Aug 2020 - 48min - 89 - TRC: Jhene Aiko “Chilombo (Deluxe)” Review
An in depth review of Jhene Aiko’s deluxe version of her most recent album “Chilombo.” Ms. Aiko continues to stay consistent and provide us with three types of music: Relaxing Music, Party Music and Stroke Songs. The deluxe songs were quality and provided some bangers that I was very pleased to receive. The initial album was already strong but sometimes you don’t want to hold songs until your next album you just want to get those shots off. To accompany her smooth vocals and surprising bars were artists like H.E.R., Big Sean (of course), John Legend, Kehlani, Ty Dollar Sign and more. I hope you haven’t been sleeping on Jhene because if you were, wake up. Her talent isn’t going to blow your doors off but those windows will break LOL. I also talked about drive thrus, Office fights, Qualifications and other random stuff (business as usual). Just opinions from my side about the albums (lyrics, concept, jokes, etc). ENJOY!!!

Sat, 25 Jul 2020 - 43min - 88 - TRC: Avant “Can We Fall In Love” Review
An in depth review of Avant’s new album “Can We Fall In Love.” 20 years in the game and nine albums in, Avant is still as consistent as he ever was. An artist whose music sounds good on any day and sounds current in any year over the past 20, he hasn’t lost a step. He took this album into his own hands only having features from Robert Glasper to provide a quality instrumental for my favorite song on the album. Take your time with this one because you will realize that Avant is one of the best to do it!! I also talked about My Business Plan, barbecue, Part Time Jobs and other random stuff (business as usual). Just opinions from my side about the albums (lyrics, concept, jokes, etc). ENJOY!!!

An in depth review of Teyana Taylor’s new album “The Album.” Two years since her last release, KTSE, Teyana Taylor is back and better than ever with a 23 song effort that shows that she was really putting in work during her hiatus.

Since arriving on the R&B scene in the early 2000s Mr. Stephens has blessed us with hit album after hit album and there are no signs that he will be slowing down. This album continues to solidify him as what his name says a LEGEND. No longer tied to his piano, as he was earlier in his career, John is a real deal superstar whose vocal talents are unmatched. Paired with perfect production and quality features by Rapsody, Jhene Aiko and more, John Legend’s Star just keeps on rising! I also talked about mandatory masks, back to working full time, Queen of the South and other random stuff (business as usual).

Sun, 28 Jun 2020 - 45min - 84 - TRC: Eric Bellinger “Hors D’oeuvres” Review
SEASON THREE PREMIERE!!!! An in depth review of Eric Bellinger’s new album “Hors D’oeuvres.” Its been over a year since I reviewed EB’s “The Rebirth 2” which was a 32-song compilation of everything he had to offer. It was quality music with great features. There were various albums and Collaborations since then, but now we are back. The new project is a 9-song album that has a little bit of a twist to it but honestly this is genius and you will see why once you hear the album and the podcast, of course. I also talked about my new fitness plan, my review of WingStop, Queen of the South and other random stuff (business as usual).

Well I’ll be gotdamned it’s the podcast’s 2-year anniversary so I decided to review an album that helped spark my love of R&B so here is an in depth review of Usher’s third album and classic before a classic “8701.” Usher was already 2 albums into his career when this album was released. “8701” solidified his star and put him at the top of the R&B game allowed his star to continue to rise on the pop charts.

Sun, 31 May 2020 - 39min - 80 - TRC: Deante’ Hitchcock “BETTER” Review
An in depth review of Deante’ Hitchcock’s new album “BETTER.” Sure this is an R&B podcast, but Deante Hitchcock is the official rapper of the pod so as soon as I saw that he was releasing an new album and I knew I had reviewed him before I know I had to see what his new album was hitting for. The easy way to say this is BARS, my guy was spitting from the moment the beat dropped and never disappointed when it came to punch lines. Additionally, when that mainstream money starts flowing those good features start turning up on the album so JID, 6LACK, Miguel and more made appearance to make the album even BETTER. Come for BARS stay for the lessons. I also talked home schooling, online classes, Memorial Day and other random stuff (business as usual).

She left her footprint on the early 2000s and then had to take a hiatus due to label disputes but, she came back better. Stronger voice, better runs, more mature content and sexier than ever. I guess you can say it all worked out. Since her time away she has released two albums (Including this one) and shows no signs of stopping. THE ONLY WAY IS UP!

An in depth review of Sinead Harnett’s debut album “Lessons in Love (The Acoustic Version)” I remember falling In love with her voice early last year but only having EPs to listen to kinda like the whole Ella Mai situation. Well last year she dropped her debut album and a couple weeks ago she took 7 tracks from it and released the acoustically. I have one word for whoever decided this “GENIUS!” Her voice is amazing and simplifying the production my only including a guitar or a piano only enhances the experience. 7 tracks wasn’t enough for me but I’m hoping these tracks put her in the spotlight. I also talked about the what Jack Ryan, Insanity, The Last Dance and other random stuff (business as usual). Just opinions from my side about the albums (lyrics, concept, jokes, etc). ENJOY!!!

Well here is my first podcast that I’ve ever recorded in the United States.

Fri, 13 Sep 2019 - 52min - 64 - TRC: My Top 10 R. Kelly Songs
I think the block has finally cooled down from Robert Kelly’s most recent “incident,” but when it comes to Kells nothing ever really cools down. I just couldn’t hold this back any longer though. When the world was abuzz debating who the King of R&B is/was, Kells couldn’t really be placed in the running because of “legal troubles” at the same time. We all knew that the Pied Piper was the rightful winner but couldn’t say so. This podcast should’ve already taken place. Well here it is!!! My Top 10 R. Kelly Songs!! Not Yours, Not Some Magazines, Not Some Websites, it’s MY TOP 10, so if you have problems with it then come up with your own!!! LOL. In addition to the Top 10 there is loads of nonsense, as usual.

An in depth review of Lyfe Jennings’ newest album “777.” After taking 4 years off, one of my favorite voices is back. Never mind the last few albums that weren’t that great, I completely live in the past and every time he releases a project I hope that he will go back to his old ways and record albums in the same manner as he did his first one “Lyfe 268-192.” Was he able to capture that magic once again or did he disappoint and leave me to live in the past. Listen and see! Talked about naming cars, closer to Kindergarten, moving days and other random stuff (business as usual). Just opinions from my side about the albums (lyrics, concept, jokes, etc).

An in depth review of PJ Morton’s newest album “Paul.” Here we go again!!! I seem to be making a habit of finding artists that have been around a while that I have never listened to but that is a good thing right? It puts me in a position to give an unbiased take on an established artist. When it comes to PJ Morton, this listen was definitely a pleasure. This veteran on R&B provided both cookout and bedroom songs, showed range in lyrics and subjects and also held his own in ear pleasing duets with impressive vocalists. It was a pleasure reviewing the album, so hear what I had to say about each track. Talked about late night work calls, Kindergarten, Mommy/Daddy Day and other random stuff (business as usual).

Able to sing in various cadences and tones, the talent is definitely there and bring a producer the tracks are close to perfect but can be make the two mesh seamlessly? Listen to the podcast and see.

Fri, 09 Aug 2019 - 35min - 59 - TRC: BJ the Chicago Kid “1123” Review
An in depth review of BJ the Chicago Kid’s new album “1123.” After hearing a son here and there from BJ, I never really took the time to explore his whole catalog or listen to an entire album from him. So when I saw his new project was released last weekend I realized there was no time like the present. BJTCK is an artist that is loaded with talent. Singer, Rapper, in the front or the background, he has what it takes to be a star and from the looks of his features (Anderson. Paak, Rick Ross, Offset and more) the game sees his potential too. The album has ballads, pop tracks, trap tracks, basically a little bit of everything for everybody. I talked about phone calls from work, Spider-Man: Far From Home and other random stuff (business as usual). Just opinions from my side about the albums (lyrics, concept, jokes, etc). ENJOY!!!

An in depth review of Elle Varner’s new album “Ellevation.” After 7 years and numerous singles that led to nowhere Elle Varner has released her second album. Although she has a unique voice that I’ve never heard anything like it before, that doesn’t always lead to a successful career. I really had to open my mind on this one and see exactly what I was dealing with. The talent was there but was the content good?? You will have to listen to the podcast to find out!! Additionally, I talked about losing a good boss, how I felt about The Lion King and other random stuff (business as usual). Just opinions from my side about the albums (lyrics, concept, jokes, etc).

An in depth review of Daniel Caesar’s new album “Case Study 01.” Two years after his Debut album “Freudian”, Daniel Caesar comes through with a new one filled with the usual and a few songs where he steps out of his comfort zone. Still providing us with quality poetry and a soothing voice over great instrumentals (even one from Pharrell), Daniel Caesar is going to be at this for a long time. Sure he said some unsavory things about his listeners but I had some things to say about that too so hear me out.

An in depth review of Chris Brown’s newest album “Indigo.” Chris Brown continues to make VA proud. Sure he has his controversial moments, but he is only human. Always a versatile artist, Chris continues to provide albums with 4-5 different vibes to keep his listeners guessing. This album is 32 tracks so I only touched on my top 10, but that doesn’t mean the other 22 tracks aren’t good. This album has bangers throughout and features from H.E.R., Trey Songz, Juvenile, Tank and more. Had a VA Meltdown and talked about other random stuff (business as usual).

After a couple singles and an EP 2007 he has finally released his debut album. A project full new sounds and energy only held by artists trying to make a name in the R&B game. With an unexpected voice that is refreshingly new, Jordan has put together a solid debut outing. I talk about stress in the military, having too much shit in my office and other random stuff (business as usual). Just opinions from my side about the albums (lyrics, concept, jokes, etc). ENJOY!!!

An in depth review of Rotimi’s new album “Walk With Me.” This Guy is way more than just an actor on “Power.” An album that is dripping with Island/African vibes, Rotimi showcases his voice all throughout this 7 track album.

An in depth review of Lizzo’s new album “Cuz I Love You.” Funny, talented, quirky and sexy, Lizzo takes us on a trip you can’t help but enjoy. An up beat album that showcased both her soulful diva and wordsmith rapper side. 11 tracks with minimal features, except for a banger with Missy Elliott and a Gucci Mane bomb, she was on full display for my ears to take her all the way in.

An in depth review of the throw back soul group Durand Jones and the Indications new album “American Love Call.” For the past 3 weeks I have been enamored with the music that I’ve heard from this group. From the angelic falsetto of Aaron Frazer, the harmonies of the band and the powerful vocals of Mr. Jones this group has taken me back in a time machine to a simpler time where Love and Life were the only things on the musical menu. Each song is better than the last and honestly I didn’t want this album to end, but all good things do.

All of the songs sung by the artists on this week’s podcast were able to reach that level in the studio and find a vibe that led them to hold a special place in my heart. as well as my ears.

EPISODE 30!!!!! Took another musical journey through the last few decades and provided a list of R&B songs featured on Movie Soundtracks.

Separated by Decade there is no other rhyme or reason to the pod just me choosing some of my favorite R&B songs from movies.
