Yung Vokalz brings a modern R&B voice to a program centered on one of soul music's most beloved legacies. His recent releases and collaborations show an artist grounded in the language of 1990s R&B while continuing to create new material, making him a natural guide through songs built on romance, groove, and audience connection.

He is joined by John “Jubu” Smith, the Oakland-raised guitarist whose career includes early work with Tony! Toni! Toné!, more than two decades with Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, and performances or recordings with Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross, Mary J. Blige, Boyz II Men, Toni Braxton, George Duke, and George Benson. Jubu's church-rooted tone—warm, raw, and deeply vocal—has become a signature in Black music.

Together, they celebrate Frankie Beverly & Maze with more than imitation. Expect heartfelt lead vocals, Jubu's authentic connection to the catalog, patient grooves, guitar lines that speak, and songs that invite the entire room to sway and sing as one.
