Speaker 1: I'm saying, Tabla, I gotta give you love. You know, David,
Speaker 1: o't that you know? Give us a little couple of
Speaker 1: credits out there? I got it. Hit everybody though, who
Speaker 1: Tabla is ain't doing? Ain't doing? We are excellent. I
Speaker 1: appreciate well. You're you're You're fantastic. And you guys have
Speaker 1: always been there for me, uh with Steve and I
Speaker 1: was doing the Neighborhood Awards. Anytime we called to do anything,
Speaker 1: you guys have been there rescuing it with a strong
Speaker 1: faith and commitment and uh and you and you value
Speaker 1: your fans. And that's what I really liked about it
Speaker 1: about your career and what you've done. And I've known
Speaker 1: you guys, you know a long time now over twenty
Speaker 1: years and so and you guys have been consistent and
Speaker 1: I've seen you grown. But one of the things I
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about, and you know, not jokingly, only
Speaker 1: I can, you know, I can jokingly talk about David
Speaker 1: and Tamil's career because both of them have phenomenal careers
Speaker 1: as singers and actors. And David, he decided one day
Speaker 1: he gonna do stand up that's how talented he is.
Speaker 1: He's just gonna decide on his reality show, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do stand up right anything, and but no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. But then he gonna go on tour. Though
Speaker 1: you do it, do it, do it, and not afraid
Speaker 1: to do it. You gotta make it do to do.
Speaker 1: You got a lot of keys. And but here's the
Speaker 1: thing about what I wanted to talk about on this
Speaker 1: show because I was talking to my show is about
Speaker 1: the entrepreneurship Tomline, David, and you know, in this business,
Speaker 1: you come you come in based on your talent, okay,
Speaker 1: and and God that have given both of you, individual
Speaker 1: to individual, tremendous amount of talent. But I see over
Speaker 1: the years you're starting to control your own destiny, okay,
Speaker 1: and if you can talk to us a little bit
Speaker 1: about that, and when did it really making you realize that,
Speaker 1: you know that you can actually book yourself, you can
Speaker 1: actually create your own music production company. When did all
Speaker 1: that started to fall in place? You know, we kind
Speaker 1: of started back in I think we did our first
Speaker 1: album in two thousand four right there somewhere and there,
Speaker 1: and because we've seen how the labels were treating artists,
Speaker 1: and it was like, you know, I know how to
Speaker 1: do music. I know that Tamila has one of those
Speaker 1: going with the voices. So it was just like, let's
Speaker 1: do our own. You know. At first, now, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you, at first, dam was like I ain't having that.
Speaker 1: She was like, I'm not gonna be no solo album
Speaker 1: by myself and go out there by herself. But I
Speaker 1: just believed in so much in what we had. I
Speaker 1: just said, let's put the music together and put it
Speaker 1: out there, and it's such good people will buy it. People,
Speaker 1: you know, we love it. So we just decided to
Speaker 1: create our own and I just believe in ownership. And
Speaker 1: you know, seeing you guys, guys like you who started
Speaker 1: to control their own narrative in this business and not
Speaker 1: allow people to tell you that you can do this,
Speaker 1: you can't do that, And that's you know, having good
Speaker 1: examples like that helped as well. Well, you know, it's important.
Speaker 1: And thank you for that compliment, because I always tell
Speaker 1: people I didn't. I didn't there was no blueprint. And
Speaker 1: then and I guess what was our afraid? Was Steve
Speaker 1: Harveer afraid? Yeah, because unknown makes you're afraid, But you
Speaker 1: have to walk past it. What you say. I was
Speaker 1: just about to say, you have to do it afraid,
Speaker 1: and that's what That's what you guys did, and that's
Speaker 1: what I I've just seen that develop over the years
Speaker 1: with with this and I look at the month of
Speaker 1: November and you guys, uh, that's a Thanksgiving month for
Speaker 1: the Man family. And the month of November. You have
Speaker 1: two big projects coming out of November. You have the
Speaker 1: about the US Against the World, Secrets to our Married Love,
Speaker 1: Marriage and Family. What would be a book available November
Speaker 1: that would be on Harper Colums. Correct, that's the one
Speaker 1: I want to get a copy of so I can
Speaker 1: give it to my fans. And then your first album
Speaker 1: drops Us Against the World. The Love Project drops November night. First,
Speaker 1: let's talk about the album, because last time he was
Speaker 1: on my show earlier in the year, we talked about that.
Speaker 1: Now we were it's October, November next month is about
Speaker 1: to happen and any hiccups? Is it where you wanted
Speaker 1: to be? Is everything timing out like you wanted to
Speaker 1: want it to happen. What's happening is it's a lot.
Speaker 1: We put so much at one time where the body
Speaker 1: can't keep up with the work. But I mean we've
Speaker 1: I've really enjoyed it to be in the studio with
Speaker 1: David again after over fifteen years, because it's like about
Speaker 1: I've been pulling teeth with him to sing with me
Speaker 1: on my records, and he was like, every time it's
Speaker 1: time for him to do it. The studio sessions, we
Speaker 1: find something to do, hold on, hold on, hold up.
Speaker 1: That I would be you know, David can sing. David,
Speaker 1: I know I would joke around about his singing. He
Speaker 1: could sing that. But you know, Tamla, you can sing.
Speaker 1: And that's why it was so difficult for me to go.
Speaker 1: So I thought she was gonna be on my very
Speaker 1: It's very intimidating to sing with Tamela Man, I know
Speaker 1: how to it's not for you. It's not for you
Speaker 1: because it's you. The team that we put together, the
Speaker 1: writing team that my frint David J. Put together for
Speaker 1: this whole project. They Taylor made the song and the
Speaker 1: lyrics everything just for me. So it made it comfortable.
Speaker 1: I mean, they made it very comfortable for us to
Speaker 1: get go in and do the music. So that's what
Speaker 1: made it easy for me because at first I was
Speaker 1: I was shaking in my boost that first I've seen
Speaker 1: an acapella. I've seen her acapella. Okay, bring down the house.
Speaker 1: Two people, just throw hard mike on the front row.
Speaker 1: She get up like you know, know that you don't
Speaker 1: even do the me me me me, Oh children, do
Speaker 1: the scales. She'll do nothing. David, do this, do this everybody,
Speaker 1: just our challenge you go, oh just Steve. I would
Speaker 1: just give her the mike right just saying she don't like,
Speaker 1: oh me, oh it's too late at night. Oh it's
Speaker 1: too She don't do that. She don't do that. She
Speaker 1: just starts singing, just singing. So I understand you've being intimidated.
Speaker 1: After all those credits I just read and you know
Speaker 1: you got a lot more credit. But you know, you know,
Speaker 1: be a boy thing going, thank God. But but the
Speaker 1: album is good love music, love Musicolo Hollo, Hello, gospel,
Speaker 1: It's just gospel is just a okay, Hello. We're gonna
Speaker 1: be right back with more money and make conversation because
Speaker 1: see this conversation turn different here all that many years
Speaker 1: of marriage and all the kids and everything money is
Speaker 1: making comp can be right back with David Tamila Man.
Speaker 1: I just Reashan McDonald. I'm back there on the air
Speaker 1: with me, my my favorite couple in Hollywood. Their dynamic duel.
Speaker 1: They've taken a career as an individual talented people and
Speaker 1: turning into a more contain enterprise. They travel around this
Speaker 1: this country, travel on the world, not only entertaining but
Speaker 1: blessing people with their God given talents as David and
Speaker 1: Tamila Man now David and Tamilo Man. This album, now,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna tell you, I immediately thought it would
Speaker 1: be a gospel based album, so educated Sean McDonald and
Speaker 1: my fans and what this album is all about. Album
Speaker 1: is all about love, grown folk love music. Right. I
Speaker 1: think if it's one thing that we need is grown
Speaker 1: folk love people that are married and love grown folk
Speaker 1: love music, not this stuff. I mean, everybody do their thing,
Speaker 1: not this stuff. Let me slap it topic and all
Speaker 1: of that, but we need some music that speaks about
Speaker 1: genuine love between a couple. That's somebody that genuinely love
Speaker 1: each other. So Tamble and I when in the studio
Speaker 1: and did an album of straight love music. So what
Speaker 1: makes you think about when you go when you go back,
Speaker 1: you go back back in the day, the love music,
Speaker 1: Secret Lover. That's so we got some stuff like that,
Speaker 1: and we're just talking about each other, talk about some
Speaker 1: of the situations that we've that we're celebrating thirty years
Speaker 1: of marriage. So we're we put this album together with
Speaker 1: the book to have like a combo where you can
Speaker 1: kind of here hear us talk about our stories and
Speaker 1: our with our family, about our family and in our marriage,
Speaker 1: and also the love that we have for each other.
Speaker 1: The album comes out in November ninth. Okay, it's Us
Speaker 1: against the World the Love. That's the love project. It
Speaker 1: drops over the knife and then the the that's the
Speaker 1: album and the book comes out in November November. And
Speaker 1: that's all that be released by hyper by Hpper College
Speaker 1: and you're in Atlanta Apper College and October twenty six,
Speaker 1: you'd be a Coca Cola Roxy. I got everything, man, y'all,
Speaker 1: y'all know, y'all with Rashaan, you know, I know how
Speaker 1: to market come on that. Well, I'm so glad, you
Speaker 1: know you really, you know, when you ain't around somebody along,
Speaker 1: you kind of forget their skills set, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, forget what they really do. Yes, you know
Speaker 1: what all I need to do is give me that
Speaker 1: single and I'm gonna start playing that sucker on a
Speaker 1: high level. But the thing I wanted to make sure
Speaker 1: that this is what I want to get out for sure,
Speaker 1: because you know, when you branded in the lane of success,
Speaker 1: like like, for instance, gospel, you're such a great legendary
Speaker 1: gospel off you put out, then I actually naturally thought
Speaker 1: this would be a gospel based album. So what are
Speaker 1: you gonna do to get the word out that it's
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's more of a secular album. Correct. Okay,
Speaker 1: So you know, just let me kind of give you
Speaker 1: a little backstory. Once we did that book. We wrote
Speaker 1: the book, and the book is at a journey thirty
Speaker 1: years and you know, this celebrates our thirty years with
Speaker 1: the book. And so as we wrote the books and
Speaker 1: start digging into the stories in the book, we were like,
Speaker 1: and this needs to be a sound track. It needs
Speaker 1: to be a soundtrack to go with the book. And
Speaker 1: so we put together this team and we sit down
Speaker 1: with the team for hours and poured out our hearts,
Speaker 1: our stories, the good, the bad, the ugly stories, and said,
Speaker 1: we need you guys to come up with something that
Speaker 1: captures our hearts and our voice. And that's where we
Speaker 1: came up with the Love Project. And it just takes
Speaker 1: you on a journey from Um, some of the songs
Speaker 1: like still Do that you know reiterates my love for
Speaker 1: you after thirty years, I still do good. Love just
Speaker 1: simply talks about communicating between our husband and wife. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, there's another song called making Up, and it
Speaker 1: just it simply talks about that making ups. It's just
Speaker 1: don't let the Sun go down. So it's it's still
Speaker 1: captures our base as Christians, but it's wrapping the beating
Speaker 1: these bolts that you know, people can relate to, and
Speaker 1: before you know it, you're getting a subliminal message like
Speaker 1: it's not worth giving up us Still do still do
Speaker 1: good love making up, letting up you we have some
Speaker 1: one call you uh signs when you can tell when
Speaker 1: your woman throwing them signs. You know they give us
Speaker 1: a little sleep with signs when they won't. You're so funny.
Speaker 1: It gotta be like a little comedic speed when you
Speaker 1: guys alive right when you're performing live. I think it
Speaker 1: gotta be entertaining from a standford of emotional from just
Speaker 1: a brilliantly talented couple on stage. But I know your
Speaker 1: comedic steals Pop Eye, doesn't it? Oh yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: even even do even you know with the tour that's
Speaker 1: coming to Atlanta at the at the Roxy, at the
Speaker 1: Coca Cola Roxy, we're actually performing some of these songs,
Speaker 1: so you'll get to hear these songs. Were incorporating I
Speaker 1: love portion as well as they've been doing this comedy.
Speaker 1: Our kids are a part of it, our sign of
Speaker 1: our daughter. And then I'm I'm still doing my gospel
Speaker 1: of course, because Jesus is our foundation. Thank you. It's
Speaker 1: not we're not leaving our faith. We're just encouraging families.
Speaker 1: The idea for this record is encouraged couple to stay together,
Speaker 1: not to give up on each other. That's what it's
Speaker 1: all about. It's not about trying to cross over per se.
Speaker 1: We're just trying to encourage everybody that we can do it,
Speaker 1: that we can make it. Okay, here's the deal, everybody.
Speaker 1: The US Against the World Tour. The Man Family will
Speaker 1: be in Atlanta, Georgia, October twenty six at the Coca
Speaker 1: Cola Roxy. That that's a brand new theater that's right
