@tyslatter: Sammie on R&B Money — How “Kiss Me Through the Phone” Saved His Career, Paid His Debts & Put Him Back on Tour On this episode of R&B Money, R&B singer Sammie opens up about a critical turning point in his career when things were headed in a downward spiral—until a phone call from Soulja Boy changed everything. Sammie breaks down how landing the hook on the hit record “Kiss Me Through the Phone” didn’t just reintroduce him to a new generation—it revived his career, helped him get back on the road touring, and allowed him to clear major financial debt. He also reflects on navigating industry setbacks, reinvention, and longevity in R&B after early success. The conversation revisits his impact on the genre, from his breakout success as a young R&B star to his influence on the bridge between early 2000s R&B and modern hip-hop collaborations. With a catalog that helped shape a generation of slow jams and crossover records, Sammie’s story adds real context to the evolution of R&B in the 2000s.
