    Exceptional effort

    By The Boss  Jan 30, 2008

    Pros: Music ... singing ability

    Cons: explicit material not needed

    Jah can pretty much sing about anything and it will sound great. Just one of the few cats that can actually mix the streets with the sheets, and do it well. i have all of his albums, and to think- he wanted to be a rapper initially? would have been a... waste of talent indeed. get the new one (2007 release) it's no different.

Pro Reviews: Still Ghetto (Enhanced)

  • All Music Guide

    Jaheim's considerable vocal talents only increased during the recording of his second album, and a stronger set of songs made Still Ghetto a definite improvement over the debut. As before, it all begins with his voice: a deep, throaty croon that makes him sound at least ten years older than he actually is (basically, about as old as the soul samples dotted over the record) and marks him as one of the few RB artists active who can summon the spirit of a Teddy Pendergrass. Better yet, Jaheim takes the loverman persona to another level, devoting more songs here to relationships than love itself; one of the best is "Put That Woman First," his remake of the Stax nugget William Bell's "I Forgot to Be Your Lover," a great performance that's a natural fit with his persona. The single "Fabulous" is simply beautiful, balancing a back-in-the-day feel with self-esteem issues and riding out with a chorus of children's voices. For "Everywhere I Am," Jaheim recorded a postcard to his mother, who died... before he gained fame; it's another testament to his power as an artist that Still Ghetto never descends into maudlin sentiments. Just like his soul forefathers, everything about Jaheim is honest and heartfelt. - John Bush, All Music Guide Read more Less
