On this week's episode of The R&B Money Podcast, Tank and J Valentine chop it up with visionary writer, producer, and engineer Donnie Scantz, one of the musical masterminds behind Aaliyah's "I Don't Wanna" and Ludacris's "Pimpin All Over the World." We get the origin story of Scantz straight from Houston, as the prodigy recounts hustling his way through school cranking out beats, chasing glory days in 1990s Atlanta, and maneuvering his come-up among the Noontime elite. From sleeping 5-to-1 in pursuit of his Aaliyah dream to serendipitously encountering Keri Hilson earlier in her career, Scantz releases crazy tales of risking it all in a state of emergency. Barely missing a credit on Usher's smash "Yeah" while paying life-changing dues that prepared him to later mentor so many in this game. This rare ride rivals movies in the uncensored chronicle of R&B history you simply need to experience. Donnie Scantz is now on The R&B Money Podcast!
