I sat down for an EXCLUSIVE interview with Steven Russell, lead singer of legendary R&B group Troop, and he opened up about the highs, lows, and untold stories behind the music. From growing up in Pasadena, California and developing Troop’s iconic dance style, to recording classic albums like Troop, Attitude and Deepa, Steven takes us behind the scenes of their incredible journey. 🎙️ He also speaks candidly about Troop’s fallout with Elektra Records and Sylvia Rhone, their association with MC Hammer’s brother, and what he believes happened when the group was pushed out of the music industry. Perhaps most powerful of all, Steven reveals how he personally blamed himself for the struggles surrounding Deepa and the impact that had on him. ❤️ Steven also gives us an update following his recent health scare and talks about being on the mend. And despite the heartbreaking loss of Reggie Warren, Steven makes it clear: Troop is still one. The brotherhood continues, and there are plans for the future. This is more than an interview — it's R&B history, brotherhood, resilience and an artist finally telling his story. 🎙️ Full interview coming to Halftime Chat! #Troop #StevenRussell #ClassicRNB #RNBHistory #HalftimeChat
