The R&B Money Podcast

The Authority On All Things R&B !
Jill Scott sits with Tank & J. Valentine to talk about how songs start, how performances breathe, and how an artist protects her center. She walks through the making of signature records——and the choices behind phrasing, silence, and dynamics. We get into the bandstand, the poem-to-melody pipeline, collaboration that serves the story, and what she’s chasing next in the studio and on stage.
