The Los Angeles singer who gave us a 1995 party classic and kept making records.
For the full picture, start with "This Is How We Do It" and then try "Let's Ride." That gives you the hit and a sense of what came after.
You know "This Is How We Do It" even if you don't know Montell Jordan's name. That song became a Friday night standard, a specific kind of mid-90s celebration that still gets played. His debut album had other solid R&B cuts like "Get It On Tonight" and "Falling," but that one track defined a moment. Later songs like "Let's Ride" showed he was still writing, even if the spotlight had moved on.
He arrived in 1995 with "This Is How We Do It" and the album of the same name. He followed it with More Than a Woman in 1997 and Let's Ride in 1999, then Life After Def in 2003. The later albums didn't find the same audience, but he kept putting music out.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
