We are back with a brand new episode of our R&B podcast to give you the real on Bruno Mars' new album "24K Magic" which just came out Friday.

Our guest Lachele claims that most people only listen to new albums for about a month...

We're back with another podcast. It's been a minute since we had a special guest, so we decided to reach out to Digital Black of the R&B group Playa.

Our friend Gaetano is back with us on this episode of the podcast. We start off by talking about T-Pain’s run with autotune and how that’s backfired on him in recent years.
