Summary

On this week's episode of The R&B Money Podcast, Tank and J Valentine welcome OT Genasis for a raw, unadorned conversation. The Long Beach, California native reflects on his challenging upbringing trying to navigate school and street life. Genasis moved from school to school, searching for something more. He found it in faith and in the pulse of his own music. He speaks of early days, the kind filled with gritty studio sessions and electric shows, and how Busta Rhymes played a part in his rise. Hits like “CoCo” emerged, bringing fame, tours, and Vegas residencies. Big names, Beyoncé, Floyd Mayweather, they noticed. It’s a journey of authenticity, of staying grounded amidst life's storms.

The talk wanders, not just about music, but about life's realness. The bond between Tank, J Valentine, and OT is clear, as if forged in simplicity and truth. Enjoy OT Genasis Now on The R&B Money Podcast!
