Another Slam dunk episode where Kenyon Dixon mentions a Mario Song called "How could u" which J wrote not forgetting that the Underdogs were phenomenal record producers and songwriters Tank as top 5 best singers in guest Kenyon's list. Its reallyl lovely to see and hear the gifted and accomplished duo of Tank & J receive their flowers and acknowledgement from a talented fellow, guest and artist.🎉🎉🎉

So I had to pause this…the cloak of shame or guilt that is being released from some people who think God no longer wants anything to do with them is happening. Tank, J, God is using y’all!! Please remember…you are loved and chosen by God. Walk in the Lord’s grace and mercy. ❤️ (okay pressing play now…)

I have thoroughly enjoyed myself as always with this R&B Money episode. This is indeed the Church ⛪️ of R&B brought to you by The Honorable Good Reverends Tank & J Valentine
I love how TANK references lines from classic movies and TV shows 😂
R&BMoney has again allowed us access above the clouds! This guy! Hundred of shows at a time? He can ride in every lane effortlessly? “WHOSE Man’s is this?!?”
Kenyon's voice is smooth man. I'm a huge fan
I’m glad somebody finally mentioned Faith Evans.. her catalogue is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man it's so joyful watching this podcast. The laughs and the similarities w/the cogicalities and what have you. This right here is truly Black Excellence. Salute to yall.
Let's go, Kenyon! May he experience so much success!
One of my favs! Every song hits 🔥
Official SoundCloud follower here! And have been a fan ever since. I definitely appreciate Kenyon's work, his artistry, his style and his progression, continuing to create a very unique and outstanding sound!
Thank you for finally having my guy Kenyon on! Hopefully we can get a Eric Roberson episode 💯💯

Come Over and Caramel Kisses! Both top tier songs.
Legend in the making!!!!! Can you?????
This blessed me. God is in what you do. The church people can't be mad if God can trust you to go outside the four walls and use your platform to sing about love. Even John p ke will tell you not to listen to his music too make love. Ain't nobody getting hot and heavy to "I Do Worship" (respectfully). Kenyon i love your story and your music. I hope you bring the grammy home. The world is lucky to have you. ✨️💚🍀
❤Kenyon Dixon ❤ such a great interview. I'm glad to see R&B Money 💰 Podcast finally interviewed this man who is behind such great music 🎶 🎵 as soon as I started listening to Kenyon music 🎶 I was hooked!! He is definitely true R&B music 🎶 & there is nothing like it 🙌❤️🙌❤️🙌
My discovery of this artist is right here right now, thank you guys for sharing his story ❤
“How could u” is definitely apart of my top 5. That song still plays in my car 🔥🔥🔥
Heavy D is #1 when it comes to Hip Hop and R&B collabs to me but Fab is a close 2nd💯
This was such an interesting episode. I’ve heard his name but never knew his voice or face. I got some research to do, thank you 🙏🏾 for bringing him on so I can get the background information on Kenyon.

There is always a gem you learn from these podcasts! Kenyon is something serious! I love watching his journey unfold, as he has BEEN putting this work in! Preparation is key! 🔑💪🏾💫 #ther&byoulove #kenfolk
All of these lessons can be used in any aspects of life. So, I listen because its a way for me to perfect my craft.
OMG I get so much flack for “Return of the Mack”. My kids shake their heads every time I play it. But they both have it in their playlists 😂😂😂😂😂
Been loving Kenyon, well deserved. BUT since we’re here 🗣TAMIA or FAITH BETTER BE NEXT!!!!! 😂
OMG I love Kenyon even more MY all time favorite dance song “Return of the Mac” I go crazy to the dance floor every time!!! My friends just knew!! Tank & J we all part of the Mac Fam!!!
Legend in the making for sure
Great interview with Kenyon Dixon. He’s an awesome artist, writer, producer.
Wowwwwwwwww! Another absolutely amazing ep. of the R&B Money Podcast! Such a beautiful (and clearly refreshing) sit-down w/ Special Guest: Kenyon Dixon! The journey Kenny took us on from his childhood days up until now was absolutely: Relatable, Incredible, & Fascinating. Kenyon is definitely one of my top fave storytellers through song & conversations overall. Will forever love cheering him on & enjoying the various ways Kenny continues making the R&B we love. / Well done yet again R&B Money Team. 💙☺️💙☺️
Had no clue he wrote those TGT songs. Those the best songs on the album!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Kenyon Dixon!!!!! Who has me in a current choke hold
This is wonderful! "Kenyon" finally on R&B Money. 🥰🥰
Great interview. The energy of Tank and Jay is exceptional. Kenyon Dixon has been killing the game. Great job!!
I don’t usually comment, but I am happy to learn tonight that this man is responsible for the lyrics in 3 of my favorite songs of ALLL TIME! Especially FYH!!!! I pray they get that album licensed so they can get paid! TGT’s project is unmatched and definitely deserves the most prestigious recognition in the music industry!!!!
We need Lucky Daye, H.E.R., and Victoria Monet on the show IMMEDIATELY.
Return of the Mack is classic! I'm mad that more people don't mention it!
😂😂😂 Kenyon ... Layla Tank...Ali😂😂😂 that part cracked me up lol
LOVE THE INTERVIEW!!! 💕 Is there a Top Five song??? It had me with my hands in the air "shouting" for real!!!
We need Justin Timberlake and Kirk Franklin please and thank you! ❤
Re- 20:00 mark. Wale is one of the best rap/R&B collaborators.

I’m so grateful to KevOnStage who played Kenyon’s song in one of his videos, and I’ve been hooked ever since! He IS the R&B we love.

Tank we need more “Dreamgirls” stories !! The impact that movie had on US ❤❤❤
1:21:07 that’s literally my top 5 movies ever and what I believe is one of the greatest movie soundtracks for sure
I’ve been making a playlist with the guests top R&B songs and it’s fire!!!!!
