Every man has a right to live the way he wants to as long as it’s respectful to the law and other people. At the end of the day, they have to live with that.
People making a living off of negativity and are destroying lives and careers. Being that we live under a microscope, so to speak, it becomes 10 times magnified. “I look at it like this, everybody in the world has issues,” he says. Dalvin says the group’s personal dramas are normal. The group has also been plagued with reports of bouts with drugs, alcohol, and internal conflicts. “People thought just because we weren’t seen together we had broken up, but that is a misconception.” We just didn’t put out albums,” Dalvin explains. “Over the years, even with K-Ci and JoJo’s and my solo things and DeVante’s producing we never stopped recording as a unit. Jodeci dismisses the rumors that they broke up. And knowing that we are still relevant to this new wave of entertainers, to see their respect means a lot.” “Drake is one of my favorite rappers,” he says. Cole and his recent “How About Now” that samples the group’s “My Heart Belongs to You.” Dalvin is particularly appreciative of Drake’s tribute “Jodeci’s Back” with J. “They always give respect where respect is due.”
You can still hear our influence on people like August Alsina, Drake, J. There are three sides to every story – mine, hers and the truth.”Īs far as contemporary acts, Dalvin appreciates the love Jodeci has received. I was like, ‘Man, why y’all got to do me like that?’ We’re still really good friends. “Oh man, don’t even remind me,” he says jokingly about the film that premiered last fall.

Dalvin laughs about being portrayed as T-Boz’s cheating boyfriend in the VH1 movie CrazySex圜ool: The TLC Story. Jodeci has maintained friendships with many of their peers from back in the day, including the members of TLC. “I don’t think there will be another Jodeci in my lifetime.” “These guys are the black Beatles of R&B and Hip Hop,” says Burrell who reteamed with Jodeci in December 2013. Burrell, MC Hammer’s brother and former business manager, booked Jodeci, TLC, and Boyz II Men on Hammer’s 1992 2 Legit 2 Quit tour. The album release date is to be determined, but Jodeci is signed to Louis Burrell’s Sphinx Music Entertainment, and they are considering options for distribution. “Timbaland, who started with us, I know he’s going to be somehow involved in the project,” he reveals. However, Dalvin confirms that Timbaland, who was discovered by DeVante, will collaborate. “Some fans want ‘Come and Talk to Me’ Part 2, and that’s not what it is, and we don’t get pigeonholed by the radio and let our fans grow with us.”Īs with their earlier work, most of the music will be self-produced. People will be pleasantly surprised.”įans can expect to hear their artistic growth. “But when creating this album, we chose a body of work that really represents us as a group and represents what people are expecting to hear from Jodeci as a group. “We’ve recorded hundreds of songs, even if it’s bits and pieces and fragments of songs that we could probably live off of for the rest of our lives,” Dalvin says. “It’s definitely something people are going to listen to because domestic violence should not be tolerated in any situation, not just between men and women, but people in general.”ĭespite recording dozens of songs together over the last 18 years, the group did not feel that they had a cohesive body of work for their fourth studio album. “Domestic violence has always been an issue in relationships, but because of the caliber of people being charged recently, it’s being brought to the forefront,” Dalvin says about the song’s content.
The group felt now was a good time to put out a song discouraging domestic violence. They sing, “Nobody wins when we fight, fuss, and argue,” and Atlanta rapper B.o.B contributes the song’s verses. The ballad’s synthesizer chords and kick drums draw refreshing, old-school R&B comparisons as the lyrics call for peace in relationships. “Nobody Wins”‘ chorus exhibits Jodeci’s signature lush harmonies and the soulful music bed takes a more mature turn for the group.
