The Breakfast Club

The Black Effect Presents... R&B Money!
On this episode of the R&B Money Podcast, J. Valentine sits down with the Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, and producer for a conversation about the music, moments, and longevity behind one of R&B’s most respected careers.
Joe takes us through his journey in music and the stories behind classics like “I Wanna Know,” “All the Things (Your Man Won’t Do),” “Stutter,” “Don’t Wanna Be a Player,” and more. He reflects on the songwriting, production, relationships, and life experiences that helped create records that have remained part of the R&B soundtrack for decades.
Joe also speaks on Verzuz, sharing his perspective on the platform, and what it means when catalogs and legacies from his era are put head-to-head.
The conversation dives into longevity, maintaining his voice and identity, navigating different eras of the music business, and continuing to connect with an audience without chasing every new trend.

Loren LoRosa is in a new season—and she’s learning that elevation requires more than just working harder. She opens up about managing growth, protecting her peace, knowing when to rest, and figuring out the “why” behind everything she’s building. Loren also shares her powerful keynote from Delaware State University, where she reflects on her journey from Delaware to LA, Brown Girl Grinding, working at TMZ, finding her way to The Breakfast Club, and what it really means to pour back into yourself.
From burnout and purpose to faith, vision, and learning that you don’t have to be at 100% every day, Loren gets real about what it looks like to keep showing up while allowing yourself to rest.
