Teena Marie is one of R&B’s most enduring artists, and in many ways, she perfectly encapsulates what it means to be Black famous. This week, Diallo and LUXXURY break down her 1980 hit “Square Biz” and explore the nuance of her legacy.

They revisit her career-breaking collaborations with Rick James, celebrate her musical prowess, and ask the question: Is Teena Marie “blue-eyed soul” or in a league of her own?
