R&B Money is the tenth and final studio album by American R&B singer Tank. It was released on August 19, 2022, by Atlantic Records and his synergetic label R&B Money after which the album was titled.[2] Prior to the release, Tank announced that R&B Money would be his final studio album, triggered in part by loss of hearing in his right ear in 2021.[3] Tank released a deluxe edition of the album titled R&B Money: The Vault on April 26, 2024 featuring 5 new songs. To promote the album, Tank embarked on his "R&B Money Tour" along with singers Keri Hilson and Carl Thomas.
Talking about the musical direction of R&B Money, Tank said:
R&B Money is a labor of love to my fans and to the genre of R&B. This is who I am! I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for artists like Marvin Gaye, Teddy Pendergrass, Keith Sweat, Al Green, and my fans who inspire me every day to make music. I wanted this album to pay homage to my influences and my evolution as an artist, and I think that’s what this final album represents.[4]
He explained the album's title saying that it derives from wanting to bring back the “expensive part of R&B that’s missing, the emotional and spiritual connection”.[5][6]
