A singer, MC, self-taught keyboardist, and prolific songwriter, Angie Stone's first claim to fame was her membership in the Sequence, a pioneering hip-hop trio who arrived with "Funk You Up" (1979), the second release on Sugar Hill Records and the first rap single by an all-female group. Following a brief period with the post-new jack swing R&B act Vertical Hold, Stone began a fruitful and lasting solo career as one of neo-soul's leading lights, known for providing sharp insight into romantic relationships with her smoky yet upfront voice. She established her solo career with a pair of gold-certified albums, Black Diamond (1999) and Mahogany Soul (2001), and added to her accolades with Grammy nominations in the R&B field for "More Than a Woman" (2002), "U-Haul" (2004), and "Baby" (2007). Increasingly occupied with acting roles, she has continued to record every few years, exemplified by deeply soul-rooted LPs such as Rich Girl (2012), Dream (2015), and Full Circle (2019).Stone subsequently signed to Arista as a solo artist and recorded 1999's Black Diamond, a Top Ten R&B album that was certified gold on the strength of the singles "No More Rain (In This Cloud)" and "Everyday" (one of several songs she has written either for or with D'Angelo). #angiestone #maryjblige #dangelo Hosted by Broadcaster & Psychotherapist Nnamdi E.S.

Brown and Gilbert have a new member, Arin Jackson, who they say reminds them a great deal of Maxwell, not only in terms as her talent but also her mannerisms and personality.
Jackson, for her part, said sheâs thrilled to be a part of Brownstone.
âI get a rare opportunity you donât get in this industry to learn from the living legend Nicci Gilbert, and on the other side of me I have what I consider the most talented woman in the world, Teisha Lott Brown,â Jackson said. âAnd I get to bring my talent and my showmanship to this group to blend and to keep Brownstoneâs legacy alive.â
The trio are dedicated to putting out stellar R&B. Brown pointed out how popular â90s groups continue to resonate with audiences through âold skoolâ tours that are making the rounds.
Gilbert said thatâs one of the reasons you see their contemporaries, like SWV and Xscape, also making new music.
âWeâve come to a place where things are so hard that people are looking to lean on really talented people and great songs and great music, because I think it speaks a universal language,â she said.
Jones made history being nominated for a Grammy. In 2019 Brownstone took the stage by storm and had the honor of performing at The Essence Festivalâs 25th Anniversary which also marked Brownstoneâs 25th Anniversary and that same year they also performed on BETâs Her LIVE Project.

Born in Columbus, Georgia, where he started playing guitar and drums at the age of 12, Walter âMuchoâ Scottâs big break came in 1988 when opening up for Guy in Columbus Georgia. As a member of The Basic Black Band, Mucho and his fellow band members were asked by Gene Griffin to travel to New York to play behind the R&B group, Today, who was on tour with Teddy Riley and Guy. Basic Black, an integral part of the New Jack Swing era, soon after recorded a single on the Sounds of New York label, and was later picked up by Motown Records, where Mucho served as a songwriter and producer, in addition to being a vocalist and musician in the band. Basic Black had hits such as âSpecial Kind of Foolâ and âSheâs Mineâ which garnered huge airplay in the early 1990s. Â Basic Black was later dismantled, with its members pursuing various musical projects, and Mucho moved to Virginia Beach to join forces with Teddy Riley, where he produced hits for MC Lyte, Blackstreet, Guy, Queen Latifah, Mary J. Blige, LL Cool J, SWV, Big Bub, Gerald Levert, Amerie, and the incomparable Michael Jackson. Mucho has been called the âKing of Remixes,â with remixes for Patti LaBelle and Keith Sweat, in addition to the artists above. While in Virginia, Mucho also wrote and produced songs for his new group, 911, where he served as one of the groups vocalists. Â Over the years, Mucho has continued to write and produce hit music in Atlanta, and is now releasing his electrifying single, âMaryâ which has garnered musical acclaim in the Pop genre.

The Darkchild instinctively knows how to showcase the best attributes of each artist that he works with. CEO of his Darkchild Productions, Inc., Jerkins has been responsible, through his numerous hit productions, for over 170 million in record sales worldwide.  Born the youngest son of a minister father and choir director mother in Pleasantville, New Jersey in 1977, Jerkins began taking classical piano lessons as a child and combined that with the gospel music that he heard in church. Rodney's Godâgiven gifts quickly blossomed, as the young phenomenon diligently worked on his music and began recording demos for local talent. When New Jack Swing's Teddy Riley came across one of those early demos and opened the first door, Rodney's career took off like a rocket. Subsequently, his first professional writing and producing job came in 1994, for an artist named Casserine and at the tender age of 15, he and his brother, Fred Jerkins III, wrote and produced his gospel rap album, "On The Move." Since that time and continuously into present day, the Jerkins discography reads like a Who's Who of Hit Music.  In 1997, Jerkins continued his ascent to legend status by working with Mary J. Blige; he coâwrote, arranged and produced five songs for her fourâtime platinum CD, "Share My World," including the hit single "I Can Love You." That year, Billboard magazine touted him as one of the hottest R&B producers in the country, and again bestowed that moniker on him in 1999. He reâteamed with Blige in 2006, with his production of her huge hit, "Enough Cryin," from her recordâsetting CD, "The Breakthrough."  Rodney's 2006 production of BeyoncĂ©âs Number One smash "Deja Vu," dominated the airwaves and garnered him another Grammy nod in the process. A testament to its greatness and his genius, the perennial, memorable tune was highlighted during BeyoncĂ©âs 2008 Grammy Awards telecast performance.  Happily married to Lifestyle Music artist, Joy Enriquez, Rodney is also the father of four children, Rodney David Jerkins III, Heavenly Joy, Hannah Joy and Royal David Jerkins in Los Angeles. Jerkins also produced her latest Contemporary Christian album and debut of his Christian label, Lifestyle Music, titled âThe Callâ in partnership with Capitol Christian.

Gina Thompson began singing at an early age and was signed to her first recording contract with Mercury Records shortly after graduating high school. Nobody Does It Better was Gina Thompson's first album. Released in 1996, it featured production by Missy Elliott and Diddy, and featured appearances by Elliott, Diddy, and Craig Mack, among others.
Her first single from the album, "The Things That You Do", was a success, peaking at number 41 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, and number 12 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart. Thompson's second album, If You Only Knew, was set to be released on September 21, 1999 on Elektra Records through Missy Elliott's The Goldmind Inc. imprint.
Two singles were released in advance of the album's anticipated release date: "Ya Di Ya", featuring Elliott, peaked at number 38 on the R&B chart, while "Caught Up", featuring rapper Beanie Sigel, failed to chart. The album was shelved, and Thompson asked to be released from her contract. Thompson continued to perform as an independent artist, and began work on a third album in 2008. #GinaThomspn #TheThingsThatYouDo #MusicIndustry

One of the most powerful interviews I ever had to do on Halftime Chat, I talk with L Jai Robinson, former lead singer of the RnB group, Profyle. We cover a range of topics from dishonest Managers, the control of record labels, the price of fame, dealing with Mental Illness as a recording artist, and finding peace away from the spotlight. As a Mental Health Psychotherapist I hope to help raise awareness of mental health by featuring interviews with 90s R&B artists sharing their personal stories overcoming mental illness. Featuring Donell Jones, Pamela Long and Kima from Total, Nitty Green from Riff, 112, L Jai from Proyfle and Mr Dalvin from Jodeci among others đŁïžđ  #MentalHealth #BlackMentalHealthAwareness #HalftimeChat #PamelaLong #PamfromTotal #HalftimeChat #DonellJones #RnB #RnBPodcast #RnBMusic #SoulMusic #112 #Diddy #BadBoy #BadBoyRecords #DefJam #Biggie #OnlyYou

Between 1985 and 1988, Five Star had four Top 20 albums and 15 Top 40 singles in the UK, including the Top 10 hits "System Addict" (1986), "Can't Wait Another Minute" (1986), "Find the Time" (1986), "Rain or Shine" (1986), "Stay Out of My Life" (1987) and "The Slightest Touch" (1987). They won the 1987 Brit Award for Best British Group.  Doris Pearson, the eldest of the three Pearson sisters, was born in Brent, London. She was the choreographer of the group, teaching the other members of Five Star the dance routines to their hits. She, like the other members, sang backing vocals and wrote songs for Five Star albums.  Her first self-penned song, an uptempo pop track "Don't You Know I Love It", appeared as a b-side to their second UK Top 10 and biggest US Billboard Hot 100 hit, "Can't Wait Another Minute", and later popped up on their multi-million selling 1986 album, Silk And Steel. She also contributed to two consecutive albums, writing one song for each project with brother Delroy: "Knock Twice" from Between The Lines and "Someone's in Love" from Rock the World. The latter track was chosen as the lead single for the album in the US and was a top 40 hit on the Hot R&B Singles chart.  Her most notable input to a Five Star project came in 1990 when Doris took lead vocal for the first time on a UK single, "Treat Me Like a Lady" and again on its follow-up "Hot Love". Pearson also wrote and sang a third track "That's the Way I Like It", which followed the usual Five Star song format.  The final time Doris appeared as lead vocalist for Five Star was on the Heart and Soul project, released in 1995, for which she contributed another three tracks. "I Give, You Give", notably the most upbeat of the three, was released as a single in that year, and reissued in 1996 as a club remix. In 2001, she recorded the track "Get a Life Together" for the Five Star album Eclipse. Â

King starting the independent record label JAY Records to release the Timex Social Club hit âRumorsâ and ushered in the biggest selling single of 1986 (3.5 million copies) and becoming the #1 R&B single on the Billboard Charts. With a Top 10 single on the Billboard Pop charts for over 56 weeks, King watched his life change as his music became an unprecedented hit. What heâd produced was history-making, as nobody had before taken an R&B song from an indie label to such heights.  Such moves from a 24 year old entrepreneur made the year 1986 even more memorable, as he quickly followed up with a label/production deal with Warner Brother Records and his King Jay Records label, subsequently releasing the first Club Nouveau single âJealousyâ and the album, âLife, Love & Painâ.   After âJealousyâ went to #8 on the Billboard R&B charts in September of 1986, followed by âSituation #9â (#4 Billboard R&B charts), 1987 came in with an even bigger bang when âLean On Meâ was released in February and became #1 Billboard Pop/#2 Billboard R&B platinum single, winning a Grammy for R&B Song of The Year  #TimexSocialClub #ClubNouveau #MusicIndustry #rnb #rnbpodcast #rnbmusic #newjackswing #hiphop #hiphopmusic #DJCassidy #PassTheMic #HalftimeChat

After selling millions of records, smashing stages internationally and  having millions of fans on her side, Pamela is looking to take the music  industry by storm with her new solo project.

As of today, people of all ages are still singing that  catchy hook. âBiggie, Biggie, Biggie canÊŒt you see, sometimes you're  words just hypnotize me and I just love your flashy ways, I guess thatÊŒs why they broke and you're so paid. That sound has not, nor will it ever  grow old. ItÊŒs as if she walked into the recording booth and recorded the  record today.    This lead singer from the R&B group Total, whose vocals we all fell in  love with the moment we heard them, is back with a colorful album  THAT puts her music in a category of a Kendrick Lamar or Chance the  Rapper type vibe. It's all about uniqueness and that she has! Her voice is  comprised of a 90ÊŒs distinction with a futuristic relevant sound of  tomorrow.  Â

The former member of the hit R&B group Dru Hill received a steady diet of gospel music while growing up in Baltimore, MD, listening to groups like the Winans. Raised in a strict Christian-centered home, Rock wasn't allowed to listen to secular music, but always found himself bobbing his head and tapping his feet to the pulsating grooves delivered through the gospel sounds that engulfed the house.

In this segment Brian Alexander Morgan discusses why only Coko sang lead vocals on the tracks he wrote and produced for SWV, but also the importance of the background vocals. Brian Alexander Morgan is an American record producer that was born and raised in Wichita, Kansas, United States. He was discovered by Club Nouveau founding member Jay King, who got Morgan's group a recording contract with Warner Bros. Records in 1987. When his group's album failed to chart, they were dropped and Morgan was mentored by producer Robert Brookins.
Morgan was also labelmates with singer Chanté Moore at Warner Bros., but her album never saw the light of day due to Jay King losing the production deal over the failure of the second Club Nouveau album.
