A New Jersey singer who brought soulful vocals to Bad Boy Records and kept making albums through the 2000s.
If you want to hear what he does best, start with 'Just In Case' or 'Finding My Way Back.' That's where the voice and the feeling come together.
Jaheim's voice has that lived-in quality that connects with people who grew up on Marvin Gaye and Luther Vandross. Songs like 'Just In Case' and 'Anything' show how he could deliver emotional weight over those smooth R&B arrangements. He was one of those artists who made soul feel contemporary without losing its roots.
Diddy signed him to Bad Boy Records in 1996, and he released 'Still Ghetto' the next year with 'Put That Woman First.' He kept putting out albums through the 2000s, 'Ghetto Classics,' 'Another Round,' 'Appreciation Day', before his last release in 2013. There were some legal bumps along the way, including a marijuana charge and an assault allegation.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
