Get ready for a wild, music-themed game edition episode of Messy Truths hosted by Azar. This week, the ladies played Lyrically Correct, a black-owned, 90s and 2000s hip-hop and R&B trivia game that brought out the fiercest competition from all participants. The hostesses were joined by very special guest singer, songwriter and producer, August Rigo, who is the magic behind the biggest names in music today (e.g. BTS, Chris Brown, Justin Bieber, Ginette Claudette, Kehlani, and One Direction). This was a crazy episode! Nesha joined the podcast from London and she might have been just a tad drunk. Mar got a little hostile and cray, cray. And August showed everyone why he is a triple threat in the music industry. ********** If you're enjoying the show, please leave a review and rate the show on your streaming platform, especially on Apple.

While making his seventh full-length album, SLP2 [R&B Money/Atlantic Records], Tank posed a crucial question. “What does cutting edge R&B sound like in 2016?” he asks. He answered that question by crafting the long-awaited sequel to his influential 2007 opus, Sex, Love & Pain. That album not only provided a blueprint for the likes of Chris Brown, Trey Songz, and more, but it also debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 and earned a Grammy Award nomination for “Best R&B Album,” while its #1 single “Please Don’t Go” became nominated for “Best R&B Male Vocal Performance.” Following 2014’s Stronger, Tank once again captured a creative spirit that resembled the process behind his seminal third body of work.As far as sequels go, Tank knew he had to go even bigger to make SLP2 the blockbuster audiences desired. In addition to cameos from Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men and Yo Gotti, he assembled a new West Coast anthem in the form of the Tank produced “Birthday” with a little help from Chris Brown, Problem, and Siya. He also teamed up with TGT collaborator and producer Brandon “BAM” Hodge to “help set the musical tone,” of this new project.
