1h 2m
To celebrate the release of his highly anticipated 10th studio album, R&B Money, set for release on August 19, the GRAMMY Museum was thrilled to welcome multi-GRAMMY-nominated R&B artist Tank for an intimate conversation about the making of the new album, his impressive career, creative process, and more, followed by a performance. The conversation will be moderated by Billboard’s Executive Director of R&B/Hip-Hop, Gail Mitchell.
Throughout his 20+ year career, Tank has garnered over six #1 hits and has written and produced for names like Aaliyah, Chris Brown, Jamie Foxx, Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, and more. From his first hit single, “Maybe I Deserve,” Tank has been able to touch listeners that have garnered him a cult following with releases like “Slowly,” “Please Don’t Go,” and “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” In 2021, Tank celebrated the long-overdue streaming debut of his landmark first three solo albums, 2001’s RIAA gold-certified, #1 debut, FORCE OF NATURE, 2002’s ONE MAN, and 2007’s chart-topping, GRAMMY® Award-nominated SEX, LOVE & PAIN. Rolling Stone acknowledged the historic streaming premiere with an exclusive interview with Tank, writing, “For the first time, fans will also be able to travel through his catalog in reverse, rewinding from 2021 to 2000.” He has continued to expand his world. It encompasses the R&B Money Podcast and YouTube reality show Babbs to the Bone in addition to acting in films such as Lifetime’s Lust: A Seven Deadly Sins Story—which Bishop T.D. Jakes executive produced. Simultaneously, he’s growing the R&B Money label, serving as home to artist Feather and more.
