Summary

Blaq Tuxedo—brothers Darius & Dominique—pull up to talk songwriting, the journey, and building records that hit both the timeline and the stage. With Tank & J. Valentine, the duo breaks down their process from melody math to production choices, how they split roles in the room, and the rollout thinking behind new music. They also get into writing Chris Brown’s “Iffy” and their own record “Residuals.”
