Tales Of An R&B Rockstar W/ Case | The Underground Lounge S3 E.8

In this episode of The Underground Lounge, Lou Williams and Spank sit down with R&B icon Case for an unfiltered, hilarious, and nostalgic deep dive into the highs, lows, and wild stories of a true 90s rockstar life. From his early grind in New York City to becoming the last artist Russell Simmons personally signed to Def Jam, Case walks us through his come-up, the legendary sessions that birthed hits like “Touch Me, Tease Me”, and the moment he realized his life had officially changed.

Case opens up about growing up with a father who once sang with Cameo, his first demo being written by Faith Evans, and what it was really like navigating the golden era of R&B. He shares stories about promo tours, sleeping in cars between gigs, and the kind of hustle artists today rarely experience, back when getting signed actually meant something, and you had to earn your shine through radio runs, live shows, and word of mouth.

The conversation quickly shifts from music to madness, with Case recalling wild nights in Philly, hanging with Allen Iverson, and the unforgettable moment that got him banned from Hot 97. From jumping out of hotel windows to being mistaken for a rockstar, the singer holds nothing back as he paints a vivid picture of the fast-paced, no-phones era of fame and chaos.

Lou and Spank dive into the evolution of R&B, debating whether today’s singers have lost that soulful edge. Case breaks down why real R&B never died, you just have to know where to find it , while name-dropping some of the new generation artists who still carry the torch. He also gets candid about why he refuses to listen to his own music in the bedroom, how cell phones would’ve ruined his prime, and what it’s like trying to perform through the flu while touring with Dru Hill.

From his wildest groupie encounters to his funniest onstage fails, Case brings stories that are as unbelievable as they are entertaining. Between the laughs, he drops real gems about longevity, creativity, and the freedom that comes with still loving what you do decades later.

This one’s packed with raw energy, R&B nostalgia, and plenty of moments that’ll have you saying, “They don’t make ‘em like this anymore.” Whether you grew up singing “Faded Pictures” or you’re just discovering Case, this episode is pure gold, a reminder of when talent, personality, and passion ruled the music game.
