We keep the great guests coming as this week we bring in our good friend RL from the group Next. We talk to him about the history of Next as well as his solo career. We also touch on his songwriting including the record that he wrote for Keith Sweat. He also shares some stories from his early Divine Mills days with Kay Gee from Naughty by Nature. Also learn about RL's daily routine which consists of waking up at 4 AM to go to the gym and then going to the studio after! On our end we debate whether Ne-Yo or The-Dream is a better songwriter. We also debate whether Chris Brown is the best entertainer of this generation.
