Maaaaaaaan dudes like Tank, JV, Eric Dawkins, Kuk Harrell, Adonis Shropshire, James Fauntleroy, Eric Bellinger etc got that vocal producer attribute where they can do EVERYTHING (write, lead, background, top line, produce) and you just slap an artist on top and the song is sonically going to sound AMAZING. Listen to the background vocals of any of those names. Their reference tracks are SCARY!

This was an incredible show. It was almost three hours but it flowed like it was 20 minutes. The brotherhood here, the honesty, and just the knowledge that we got this week. Learning about the Underdogs in this way was so deep. This was a pod that was well done, the Gospel knowledge, the R&B knowledge, and the wealth of storytelling here just makes me more excited for what is to come on this podcast. Thanks again! 💞💞

This episode took me behind the Curtain of the Underdogs and I love that for us! I appreciate the transparency in Eric Dawkins experiences. I loved that he shared the good & when he was hurt. I TRULY loved how J stopped to acknowledge all of the people who were a part of the underdogs BY NAME‼️ #Respect

@daveloncarr1698 Год назад

When Commissioned went through the period of transition, Dawkins and Dawkins filled the void for a lot of young people (at the time me) who loved gospel with that contemporary/r and b flavor. Very good group

I'm glad yall finally dived into the real history of The Underdogs and gave credit to those who contributed and are deserving. I had always wondered, based on conversations from the show, that J was 1) a co-founder and 2) worked on many projects under the name, but J's name, let alone all those yall mentioned, are listed as being members. Not even on Wikipedia....smh. S/O to the show for respectfully addressing it, giving people their flowers, making it clear that there is no bad blood and for sharing the history of R&B!
