This week, our co-hosts converse with special guest, super producer, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins! You've heard his iconic tagline "Darkchild 99" starting off some of pop culture's biggest records such as "Say My Name" by Destiny's Child and "It's Not Right But It's Okay" by Whitney Houston and countless others. He is the mastermind behind some of the music industry's most iconic superstars such as Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, and so many more. Music that has truly defined the soundtrack for modern music since the 90's. Rodney shares priceless stories about his friendship and creative relationship with Michael Jackson, talks about his musical start in the Church and discovering music production, a life changing production meeting for Mary J. Blige, his work with new artists such as SZA and Burna Boy and so much more!
