On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by R&B singer Mario.

Mario is a legend of 2000s R&B. After adapting Biz Markie’s “Just a Friend” when he was only 15 — which opened his 2002 self-titled album — he soon entered global stardom.

Ever since, he’s delved into different lanes, including acting, writing, and independently launching his New Citizen label, and cemented his legacy.

Additionally, he released a new single, “Main One,” last summer, which features Tyga and last week’s guest Lil Wayne — a track whose alluring music video boasts over 12 million views.

Listen to their conversation on Artist Friendly wherever you listen to podcasts. You can also watch the episode over at Veeps.
