Every artist starts making music because they hear someone’s music that they enjoy, to the point they want to make it themselves. Jodeci was that group for me. Since the first time I saw them on TV as a child, I knew they were the coolest. The first member that I became enamored with was Devante Swing, A tall light-skinned pretty boy, with a high top fade, and dark sunglasses that gave him an edge that stood out to me as a youth. I would later come to find out that he wrote and produced every Jodeci record, until their sophomore album, Diary of A Mad Band.
A blast from the past, let’s take it back to the greatest age of R&B music – featuring artists like Usher • SWV • Jodeci • Bell Biv Devoe • Faith Evans • Mint Condition • Al B. Sure • Bobby Brown
