Raheem DeVaughn joins Questlove to trace his journey from a Washington DC Go-Go kid to internationally known “Love King,” radio host, and independent R&B force. He breaks down the spiritual meaning of love, the art of the perfect slow-jam mixtape, and how Go-Go culture shaped his sound and hustle (including his current band). Raheem also tells stories about his father touring with Stevie Wonder, remaking a full, soon to release Marvin Gaye album with Kenny Dope, and building his career from Black Lily open mics to a Jive Records deal and beyond. He also explains how he inherited The Quiet Storm radio show, why direct-to-consumer is changing the game, and what it really takes to survive as an indie artist in today’s music industry.
