Nominated for a Grammy in the Best R&B album category for his work ‘The Love and War MasterPeace,’ Raheem DeVaughn is no stranger to the discussion of love, sex and relationships. Although he didn’t win the award last night, DeVaughn always wins with the ladies. The soulful crooner proved in his latest project that he not only knows how to make women feel good about themselves but also turn them on physically.

This Valentine’s Day, DeVaughn, 35, insists that men remaster the craft of how to love. He sat down with BlackVoices to chat about his Valentine’s experiences, romance and his favorite positions.

BlackVoices: Has Valentine’s Day drastically changed for you from before you were a known R&B singer?
Raheem DeVaughn: I end up working or performing somewhere during Valentine’s Day, so through my music I bring people together, become a part of other people’s love day.

BV: Is there too much pressure put on men for V-Day?
RD: I wouldn’t say men have more pressure than women just on Valentine’s Day, but on Christmas, Thanksgiving, birthdays… pretty much throughout the year.

The voice behind the tracks, the rhythm of the melody, the mask behind the production is Mr. Mark Henry from the DMV!!! Fueled by the energy of the sensation from music, Mr. Henry delivers with perfection… His words are laced with motivation that inspires his personal structure for beats!!!

Born and raised in Washington, DC, Mark Henry has produced tracks for the likes of Wale, Raheem DeVaughn and Rick Ross.  The hungry producer has gained accolades including a win at Speaker Box 3 in Baltimore and high recognition in Ohio’s Scribble Jam and Red Bull Big Tune in DC.  Since then, he has gone on and gained praise from Fat Joe and helped Raheem DeVaughn start his 368 Music Group. With a big future ahead of him, Mark Henry took the time to talk with stupidDOPE about his career.

How and at what point did you start to compose music? I started composing music back in 05-06. One of my friends made beats on this program called Fruity Loops. As soon as I saw it, I was interested. But, for the first couple of years, it was all fun and games. Nothing serious. In the beginning, my beats were made from all stock sounds. Kinda like what Soulja Boy did when he first dropped. Maybe like a year into it, someone showed me how to sample. That’s when my beats began to sound interesting.

Who are your musical influences? I listen to everything from Hanz Zimmer to Curtis Mayfield to Metallica to Quincy Jones. I’m influenced by sounds. You could put me anywhere on this earth and I’ll probably come up with a dope beat, lol.
