from Joe and Jada · host iHeartPodcasts and The Volume

Fat Joe and Jadakiss are joined by R&B legend Mario to discuss his massive stadium tour alongside Chris Brown and Usher. Mario shares a wild behind-the-scenes story of recording his smash hit "Let Me Love You" at 16 years old in Miami, the profound impact of becoming a new father to his six-month-old son, Lord Nasir, and his thoughts on the current state of R&B while praising contemporary heavyweights like H.E.R., SZA, and Lucky Daye. Plus, the three legends kick back and swap some classic industry tales: Joe recounts the unforgettable night Mike Tyson saved him and Big Pun from a massive brawl at The Tunnel, the live performance acrobatics of James Brown and Luther Vandross, and Joe passionately breaks down the latest dramatic twists in ‘Power Book III: Raising Kanan' and ‘House of the Dragon.’ Behind The Bars is presented by Sprite.
