R&B N' Chill

Tyronza "Ty The Pod Guy" Hicks has been running R&B N' Chill since 2020, building it into a consistent weekly destination for R&B fans who want commentary, history, and artist interviews all in one feed. The show blends standalone episodes where Ty breaks down trends and cultural moments in R&B with interview episodes featuring artists, songwriters, and producers. A recent conversation with Deezle covered his journey from Cash Money Records to Grammy recognition, which gives you a sense of the caliber of guests the show attracts. With 151 episodes in the catalog, there is plenty to work through. The format keeps things moving without rushing. Ty has an easygoing interview style that lets guests open up about their creative process and career paths, and his solo commentary episodes show a genuine depth of knowledge about the genre's history. He traces connections between eras and artists in ways that feel organic rather than academic. The show carries a 4.9-star rating from its Apple Podcasts reviews and has maintained a steady weekly release schedule for over five years, which is impressive for an independently produced podcast. Episodes are explicit-rated, reflecting honest, unvarnished conversations about the music industry. Produced by Epic Echo Productions, R&B N' Chill fills a space between the big-network R&B podcasts and smaller fan shows, delivering production quality and guest access without losing the personal touch that made it work in the first place.
