Love Al B & Kyle West forever, I’m still slappin their classics to this day! Very distinguished gentleman and it reflects in the music. ✔️
Al B sure has the most beautiful speaking voice. ❤
I Just couldn't stop smiling thru this interview. I boughtf Al b sure records and Kyle West productions.
Thanks for bringing this interview.
Its very special.🎉
Al B. Sure is a classy guy from a classy family.
I have said this on another video, that AL.B should have been on the legends tour. Hope that AL.B is feeling better now ❤
Omg I would like to speak to Al sure I was born late 80s but once I heard his songs I fell so good
Awesome 🎉I’m so happy 🎶
Al is not lying about Kyle's chords being haunting . That Nite and Day beat is so haunting yet so triumphant. To this day I still have heard nothing like that instrumental
I agree.
Me too. I first heard the use of the music when it was sampled for LL Cool Js song Loungin on his Mr Smith album. Something made me deeply research who was behind the music and the trail led to Albie Sure prod by Kyle West. I then concluded I love everything Kyle coz I liked where I wanna be by Donnell, Alone with You by Tevin...to this day, those are still standout R&B tracks...even from a keyboard arrangement point of view..
@@rogerssombe7369 Facts bro🔥
@@rogerssombe7369 yesssssss that was a great use of the sample zro even used it for a version of 25 lighters.
@@rogerssombe7369 his work on the 1996 Donell and Ladae is straight fire.
"I can testify to the enormous work that was done on the album by Al B Sure! "In Effect Mode" because I am fortunate enough to own 9 audio cassettes containing different demo versions of Nite and Day, Off On Your Own (Girl), Rescue Me.. .Rescue Me Madness (a different version of Rescue Me)... There is also a track that was called "I'm Through With All The Shame" at the time (later Ooooh This Love Is So) and No Matter What You Do. All dated 1987 with some of them indicating that the cassette is intended for producer Andre Harrell, even with his phone number!! In Effect Mode is my favorite New Jack Swing album! Al B Sure! and Kyle West have made me dream with their music for years. I thank them immensely!!" They are the perfect team!!
You're soooo lucky I'm jealous 😢
Kyles use of the great Roland D50 and Yamaha TX81z is notable. Great interview..Thanks
I am joining this so late !! It's so good seeing you Al B Sure! Hope you're doing well and I pray also that your Mother too, Blessing always 💜🙏🙌🙏
My top 3 Duo of Producers; Gamble/Huff, Jam/Lewis, Kyle West/ Al B Sure. “I want to know” “Just for the moment”🔥🔥
Love them all myself.
I love that song.
🤔
This is legendary 🎉❤
🍾🍾🍾🔥… Just cuz I know you been anticipating this moment bro 👍🏽🤝🏾
You already know! 😅
amazing real life story
Slammin' interview with Kyle West & Al B. Sure. Coincidently, I became a good friend of Beverly Bond (Black Girls Rock) 12 years after she appeared as Al B. Sure's love interest in his debut video "Nite and Day." Exotically beautiful she was in his video then, and still is beautiful till this day. Also, my older brother tells me Al B. Sure hung out with them at "Rock Bottom", back in the day in Harlem (131 Street & Lenox Ave.) If Al B. Sure can confirm that early 80s story, I'll grant my older brother a long-overdue musical collaboration between us. 😄 Thanks for another awesome interview Halftime Chat!!! 🏆🥇💯💯💯💯
I'll send him the message and see if you'll confirm ☺️
🙏🏿Many stars ascended from where I grew up, and it's wonderful seeing the successes of the selected few. Halftime Chat and works contributes MUCH to the culture.✊🏿 We're having a blast seeing our past favorites share their stories!!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
@@justrules134 🙏
@@justrules134 I never knew that was Beverly Bond wow I remember her as a dj and for the series you named.
@@musiclover-cn7tb Yes, Beverly was a model before she surprisingly morphed into a prominent dj at "Joe's Pub" in East Village, NYC. She says she learned MUCH music from me back in the days lol. We became friends after we both met in Manhattan at a record shop i worked at (One Love Records.) Also, she was featured in Christion's 1997 video "Full of Smoke." Pay close attention to catch her in brief shots, among MANY other beautiful sistas in that video...En Vogue members included. Peace to you music lover1984.
Can you ask about “Honey I’m Home”? Another great slept on piece of work! BTW Al is exactly a year older than me 🎉
Will do!
I remember that album from around 2009 Terrence Quentin Dudley whom he worked with before contributed to it he would be great on here what a talented guy.
Hey, AJ...... I mean Al B., u look good, Brother. No one knows, but I knew him, as AJ, in our earlier years, at The Telephone Center, in New Rochelle. Off the hwy. They hired us cause we had good speaking voices to do telephone surveys.... When I saw his single “Night & Day” at a record store, in 23rd Street, in NY, I was like “He’s on his way!”.👍🏾
he does have a great speaking voice it's very pleasant.
@@musiclover-cn7tb Yes. He use to narrate “Unsung” episodes.👍🏾
I sent him your message, let's hope he responds 😁
@@HalftimeChat Either way, it’s all good. Some ppl like to forget some things they use to do coming up. When u worked at The Telephone Center, u had the option to use a different name, he went by the name AJ, so that stayed with me. But when I met him there, he was class. Gentlemen, low key, kept to himself. Never had drama. Didn’t stay long.👍🏾
Yo halftime man you getting legends on here smh this is incredible
Thank you. Al B Sure trusts that I focus on celebrating them not looking for gossip. He's been a supporter of Halftime Chat and reached out to suprise his cousin 😁
@@HalftimeChat that's awesome keep up the good work your doing a amazing job
Dope interview salute
Thank you 😊
@@HalftimeChat no problem fam
Al B 😍
Al knew he was sexy on Sexy Verzuz when that chick Freddi or some male name she had that sung co-lead with Al on "I Die 4 You" which should have been a single. She was in the 1991 Had Enuf? Soul Train stage performance with Al whe Al introduced her to the late Don Cornelius on stage after that stellar performance.
@@TheReal_E.IRIZARRY that whole album is sexy there's a song where he says ride em' cowgirl right now is my go to.
*amazing interview. they both are very mature old souls*
Good to see Al 👏👏👏👏
legendary interview wow.kyle and Al B!!
Great 👍
Peaches /Harlem ❤️
That whole album is a classic! Hey Nnamdi!
😇🙏🏾
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
exactly kudos everyone involved in this interview was on the money .
See this is why we love you...
😁😁😁 thank you
Eddie F said AL was originally a rapper and sounded like Slick Rick.
BRO YOU DID IT!!!!!! THIS MAY BE HIS FIRST INTERVIEW SINCE HE'S GOTTEN OUT THE HOSPITAL
It's not. Al B. did an interview where he was holding a cane on the couch signifying something like he has the "cane" because he's "abel". Don't quote me; I suck, bro. lolololololol
If you notice that I was shocked when he said he was in the hospital with his mum, I couldn't believe it then we find out that he's talking from her room. Levels 😇
I did see one on a christian podcast where he spoke with a woman I'm not sure of her name.
Kyle and al look like they could be brothers but their cousins
wow! is right. what a terrific segment! what chemistry! 2 brothers (well, cousins really, but you know what i mean) reminiscing. great stuff, nnamdi.
😊😊😊
Idk if I asked this question before how u are getting these legends on your show? My hats goes off to you halftime
I think it's because they watch the interviews and see that it's all love and no slander. 😁
Proud of you Nnamdi! Best channel on TH-cam by far.
@@djkellykel3383 grateful 🙏🏾🥲
@@HalftimeChat "Hold my beer"....***E. Irizarry enters the chat*** What I am? To be mocked and forgotten???! LOLOLOLOL
Yesssssssss
Very interesting to hear the man behind 🎵Kyle West, break it down!🎵
@7:29 - Albert means noble, bright. "Origin: German. Meaning: noble, bright, famous. Just think of Einstein and Schweitzer. Your baby boy is in outstanding company if you choose the name Albert. It comes as no surprise that this name is of German origin and means “noble,” “bright,” and “famous.” Such a definition has never been so fitting for one name!" Source: The Bump
will al b sure will be on the next tour with new edition and guy and keith sweat they need to bring back r&b and new jack swing back
Two things I need to say:
(1) am I the only one whom respect Nnamdi for letting them talk by not making it a traditional interview? Al B. wants to come back because he felt so comfortable; continue that format with Al B., Nnamdi. Good job, man.
(2) the chemistry is unweathered and unfettered between Kyle and Al B. Two K. Wests: Kyle and non-related Kan(ye), both talented, but Kyle was the first K. West to do it!!!!
(3) I LIED: Bonus: since Nnamdi won't do it, but I will, "Al! Ayo fam! Finish writing that book and give us that new Trap Soul R&B CD. Teach Quincy Brown how to make a real B. Sure famlee album! Teach Lil Al how to make a real Trap Soul album. Sing in that Four Seasons-Frankie Vallie super high pitched In Effect Mode register again on this new CD!!!! No more Kick In The Head comas as a result...to all the fans here...DON'T BITE!
😊😅
No I've always love Nnamdi for that other podcasts which I won't name have too many people hollering over each at once or not letting them get a word in it's annoying some of them play music too.
4 u alone by Johnny Gill is an honorable mention that song is a gem the whole track is fire.
@@musiclover-cn7tb that's around the same time Al produced that one song for 112. Both sound similar; I forgot the name of it.
@@TheReal_E.IRIZARRY this is your day is the name of the song the beginning does sound similar.
Hey, Nnamdi, let me know what part 1 was. I think it was u describing him with different ppl like Tim Gatling, Father MC, Jimmy Jenkins, & AJ... I mean Al B. in the studio with Teddy working on a new track?.👍🏾
This is my 2nd interview with Kyle West. He came back for another 90 minutes 😊

@@HalftimeChat 👍🏾
Great interview
Thank you 😊
what about al and Christopher Williams are what kind of cousins
They were not related but it was a marketing plan from uptown records
Why didn't Kyle help Al on that second album 🤔
We go through each album in this interview
