Have You Heard Tank’s New Album “R&B Money”? (@TheRealTank)

Posted on September 6, 2022 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

In mid August, R&B singer, songwriter and producer Tank released a seventeen-track project titled R&B Money. The record is noteworthy because it may be his last studio album- at least for a while.

For those not in the know, in 2021 Tank revealed that he was inexplicably going deaf in his right ear, while also losing a good portion of hearing in his left. The experience resulted in him fast-tracking R&B Money.

The sensual rhythm-and-blues LP features collaborations with Blaq Tuxedo, Feather, Chris Brown, Alex Isley, J. Valentine, Vedo, Rotimi and Tverse. Click here to stream/download the album from your preferred music platform.
