Just as Immature eventually morphed into IMx, Jerome "Romeo" Jones officially became Young Rome, and set to securing a piece of poprap real estate. In spring 2004, coming off a supporting role in the B2K dance vehicle You Got Served, Rome dropped the single "After Party," which featured an introduction from his B2K pal Omarion. "Welcome to my afterparty/Hope that you're feeling naughty" with its chattering beats and blatant sentiment, the cut was hedonistic fluff in a direct line from the Cassidy/R. Kelly collaboration "Hotel" and Chingy's "Holidae In." The fulllength Food for Thought was slated by Universal for a June release.
