Jahiem Returns With Atlantic Records and New Album

By Quibian Salazar-Moreno
      Jahiem’s last album, 2006’s “Ghetto Classics”, didn’t make that much of a splash in the music world, but he has a fan following like not other. That’s probably why Atlantic Records signed him and prepping to drop his new yet-to-be –titled album on December 18.
      "This is a milestone project for me, which reflects on changes and growth in my personal and professional life. I produced and wrote half of the album. I’m just focused," Jaheim told Billboard.com. "I’m with people that understand the market — no disrespect to anyone over there [Warner Bros.]. At this point in my career, I need a company that understands and they [Atlantic] are taking me to a whole new level."
      The album features productions from R. Kelly, Kaygee (formerly of Naughty By Nature), Ivan Barias and Carvin Haggins of Karma Productions, Jasper Cameron and former Luther Vandross producer Nat Adderly Jr. Keyshia Cole is the only guest on the album. The album’s first single, “Never,” is just now hitting radio.
