Carla Hall Interviews New Jack Producer Kyle West | 7

Hey Prime members, you can listen to Jack's ad free on Amazon Music.

From Wonder and Universal Music Group, this is a special episode of Jack.

Yes, there's something for me that you can cling.

I'm Carla Hall and I'm just psyched beyond words to take over from the great to Raji P Henson.

You may know me as a top chef finalist, a host on ABC's The Chew, and hopefully from my wonder

podcast say yes. What you probably don't know is that new jack swing music

was my damn near everything during and after college in the late 80s and 90s and it has stuck

with me my whole life. I will still bust out guy on a Friday night. I still bounce

in place a little when they start bumping my prerogative at Trader

Joe's. And judging by the responses to this show, same goes for a lot of you, but also, like a lot of you, but also like a lot of you.

When I started listening to this series, I weirdly knew next to nothing about the music that's meant so much to me.

For a genre that basically paved the way for

everything we call pop music today, not a ton's been written about it. So

And the people who worked on this show will tell you the same thing.

So much, they couldn't fit it all into six episodes.

Like for instance, you've been hearing this tune throughout the show.

Have you ever had a dream? Something you wanted so bad you just couldn’t let it go? For a group of kids in Harlem in the Eighties, their dreams would change pop music forever. Teddy Riley, Timmy Gatling, and Aaron Hall form a group called Guy that would fuse hip-hop and R&amp;B and launch a new sound. By the early Nineties, the New Jack Sound dominated the pop music charts: Bell Biv Devoe, Bobby Brown, Boyz II Men, and many more. But the rise of the New Jack sound would come at a cost, and not everyone would make it to the top. Hosted by Taraji P Henson. From Wondery and Universal Music Group, Jacked is a story of friendship, gangsters, double-crosses, and big dreams.Hosted by Golden Globe winner Taraji P.
