They cut their demo in a studio room next to the one Jay was using to make Reasonable Doubt , though Jada was born six years after Jay. That was March It is bloated, and dulled by the kind of half-hearted crossover attempts and maudlin mid-tempo plays for softer radio programmers that plagued rap albums around the turn of the century.

To be fair, it also has some songs that masquerade as the latter but are decidedly not. That effort, grassroots or not , was successful, and in they dropped the vastly superior, Swizz Beatz—led We Are the Streets through Ruff Ryders. Which brings us back to the solo career. The album sounds something like that. At points, Jada is simply irrepressible. But he is also, far too often, made to sound like this surprise guest on his own albums.

Changing the whole zone of what I normally do to make that pocket of music for him, it was dope. Yeah, he wanted me to try different things. Just be very musical. It worked out.

Everything came full circle. How easy or difficult was it for you to center an entire project after him? It was very difficult. Some studio sessions were more sad, somber, down. A lot of them were happy.
