‘Late Nights With Jeremih’ is Jeremih’s first release on digital service providers

‘Late Nights With Jeremih’ is Jeremih’s first release on digital service providers

The groundbreaking debut mixtape from Jeremih has been released to all digital platforms for fans. The recording artist introduced Late Nights With Jeremih in 2012, and he thought celebrating the 10th anniversary of the program would be the perfect way to commemorate it. Jeremih’s original album still sounds like a brand new release, and the seductive opening lyrics from “Rosa Acosta” recall the early days when the rapper was just starting out.

With a star-studded roster of celebrities, Late Nights With Jeremih would still be able to claim bragging rights today. Besides the platinum-certified song “All the Time” with Natasha Mosley and Lil Wayne, the mixtape also features fellow YG, and Fabolous, and Def Jam stars 2 Chainz, as well as AK, Gucci Mane, E-40, Marcus Fench, Sir Michael Rocks, Twista, and Willie Taylor.

This has been an exciting and progressive year for Jeremih as he is working to make a full recovery from his illness while also taking advantage of some exciting opportunities in the interim. Another career achievement was making his first appearance on-screen in “Power Book IV: Force.”

“Playing Elijah for ‘Power: Force’ was nothing short of awesome,” he writes with thankfulness. I met a lot of incredible folks who do this stuff for real for the first time on screen. I’m always grateful to 50 Cent, as well as Joseph Sikora, who helped me feel confident about myself. I remember getting out of the hospital around this time last year. The hardest part was learning how to walk again.”

Jadakiss Over 25 Years of Greatness

Jadakiss Over 25 Years of Greatness

Jadakiss, He is known for being one third of the East Coast hip hop group The Lox as well as being a member of Ruff Ryders and for his solo work. He is currently signed to both Def Jam Records and his own label, D-Block Records, which he founded with the other members of The Lox. Jadakiss has released five studio albums, with the most recent being Ignatius on March 6, 2020. Recently destroying the Diplomats in a Verzuz battle Jada is said to be at a all time high in streams.

Starting out with Ruff Ryders then signing with Bad Boy, Puff Daddy at the time shortened the group’s name from The Warlocks to simply The LOX. They made their first appearance on The Main Source’s 1994 LP “Fuck What You Think” on the track “Set it Off.” They immediately began writing and performing on hit songs with fellow Bad Boy artists, including Puff Daddy’s “It’s All About the Benjamins” and “I Got the Power”, Mase’s “24 Hrs. to Live”, Mariah Carey’s “Honey”, Mary J. Blige’s “Can’t Get You Off My Mind” and The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Last Day”. The group developed a close relationship with B.I.G., during which time Jadakiss especially was taken under his wing. The LOX’s first hit song was a tribute to The Notorious B.I.G. in the wake of his 1997 death, titled “We’ll Always Love Big Poppa”. The song was chosen as the B-side to Puff Daddy’s smash hit B.I.G. tribute song “I’ll Be Missing You”, and received widespread commercial success, achieving multi-platinum status from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

BAD BOY’S FALL OUT

The success and reception of the song opened the door for them to write more of their own songs, and in 1998, the LOX released their debut studio album, “Money, Power & Respect”. The album was both a commercial and critical success, peaking at number 3 on the Billboard 200 and number 1 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and went on to achieve platinum status. Though the record was successful, The Lox grew unhappy with Bad Boy Records and Puff Daddy’s, radio friendly production, feeling it conflicted with their image.

CONTINUED SUCCESS

Following the release of their debut album, the group left the label to sign with Ruff Ryders Entertainment. They released their second album, We Are The Streets in 2000, through Ruff Ryders. The album was once again a success, peaking at number 5 on the Billboard 200 and number 2 on the US Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart. It featured production from Swizz Beatz and Timbaland, and spawned one single, “Ryde Or Die, Bitch” featuring fellow Ruff Ryders artist Eve.

THE GOLDEN YEARS

Jadakiss began embarking on a solo career in 2001 and his debut album, “Kiss Tha Game Goodbye”, was released in August on the Ruff Ryders/Interscope label. The album featured popular guests and producers such as DJ Premier, The Alchemist, DMX, Eve, Snoop Dogg and Swizz Beatz and was commercially successful, going on to be certified gold by the RIAA and selling over 200,000 copies during its first week of release. Despite commercial success, the album received negative reception from critics who criticised the album for being repetitive and uninspired. Jadakiss has acknowledged the criticism as valid, saying the record was done less out of inspiration but rather out of contractual obligations to Bad Boy.The album produced three singles, “We Gonna Make It” featuring Styles P, “Knock Yourself Out” and “Put Ya Hands Up”.

Jadakiss followed this album with “Kiss of Death”, released in June 2004. It features guest appearances from Snoop Dogg, Eminem, The Lox, Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Nate Dogg, DJ Quik and more. His song “Why?”, featuring Anthony Hamilton and produced by Havoc of Mobb Deep, became one of the year’s biggest hits, spawning a remix featuring Styles P, Common and Nas. “Why?” remains Jadakiss’ biggest hit, peaking at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song also garnered controversy for a line in which Jadakiss claims that he believes George W. Bush planned the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Another single from the record, “U Make Me Wanna,” featuring Mariah Carey peaked at number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album was both a commercial and critical success, receiving better reviews than his previous album and debuted at number 1 on both the Billboard 200 and the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums charts.

In late 2007, Jadakiss signed to Jay-Z’s Roc-A-Fella Records, a move Jay had been trying to arrange for a long time. The move came on the heels of increased D-Block/Roc-a-Fella collaborations; in 2006, Jadakiss and former rival Beanie Sigel collaborated on DJ Khaled’s album Listennn… the Album, and in 2007, on Freeway’s album “Free At Last”.

WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A KING IN THIS GAME FOR MULTIPLE DECADES…..

Forget everything you just read and use some critical thinking… From 1994 to 2020, how drastically the music sound, business, owners and fans have changed and grown. Being able to create classics like “Why” and still drop street music illustrating his harsh come up. Standing toe to toe with the top artist of 3 generations in the hiphop world, not losing motivation when times got hard and groups split up, not losing the motivation during hard times and bad contracts and not losing the authenticity of yourself as an artist. Jada has given game in the music and outside the music with his actions leading to his longevity. Forever a staple in Hip-Hop Jadakiss goes on the first ballot for the Hall of Fame, Jadakiss goes 1st all Hip-Hop team as a starter and forever embedded in the history of our culture.
