Teddy explained that Bruno created a path with the New Jack Swing influence in his music, and Teddy added that he’d be open to working with Bruno in the future. From there, DJ Vlad gave Teddy his flowers by talking about the vastness of his music catalog and the way in which his sound has evolved and withstood the test of time. He even jokes that Riley has been making hit records for "100 years." From there, Riley reflects back on the music he's made before revealing that he might have something in the works with the Backstreet Boys. Lastly, Teddy recalled working on a solo album called "Black Rock," which never saw the light of day. The awarding-winning record producer reveals that before he could complete the album, he decided to dedicate the music to a new project by Blackstreet instead. As the discussion progresses, Riley states that he will finally be releasing solo music to accompany a new book coming out soon. Moving along, he talks about living in Africa for a brief moment, his VERZUZ battle with Babyface, reuniting with Blackstreet for a show in his living room, and more.
