It started for Jaheim at a young age, with the influence of his grandfather who had previously sang in The Drifters. He grew up with music all around him, and would take part in talent shows, he won the Apollo Theater’s talent show at the age of fifteen, three times.
He got his break when he recorded a demo tape that found its way into an A&R at Divine Mill Records, which is a division of Warner Bros. Records. He received great reactions from his debut singles, “Could It Be” and “Just in Case”. The former shot right up to number two in the US R&B Charts, and 26 in the Billboard Top 100. Following these singles came the release of an album entitled “Ghetto Love”, released on March 13th 2001. It peaked at #9 on the Billboard 200. His sophomore album “Still Ghetto” followed suit, peaking at #8 on the Billboard 200 chart. Jaheim featured on the song by Nelly, “My Place” which was released on July 16th 2004. His third album however, “Ghetto Classics” released on February 14th 2006, shot right up to the number one spot of the Billboard 200 Chart.
His fourth studio album, “The Makings of a Man”, released on December 18th 2007 saw Jaheim move to Atlantic records, with his album debuting at #11 on the Billboard 200, with upwards of 176,000 copies being sold in the first week. The album “Another Round” followed suit, but reached #3 on the Billboard 200 Chart. “Appreciation Day” released September 3rd 2013, Jaheim’s sixth studio album, reached #6 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Avis
Jaheim, on the face of it, is by no means an exclusive case over the past couple of decades of mainstream urban music - somebody who’s both rapped and turned his hand to smooth R&B - but the difference with this New Brunswick, New Jersey native is that he hasn’t tried to do both at once, which we’ve so often seen to be to the detriment of the artist’s output; instead, he left his dalliance with straight-up hip hop behind early in his career, and instead decided to croon his way to R&B success; he achieved that, too, in 2003, when his second album, the misleadingly-titled Still Ghetto, spawned the platinum-selling smash ‘Put That Woman First’. In the years since, Jaheim has turned out an additional four albums, with last year’s Appreciation Day the most recent. He continues to be a popular live performer across the States, showcasing his formidable vocal talent with a full live band, but hasn’t made any UK appearances in almost a decade; he retains a significant cult fanbase over on these shores, and they’ll no doubt be hoping for the opportunity to stage an appreciation day of their own sooner rather than later.
Seeing Jaheim was great but the delays were awful the show was to start at 10pm didn't start until 12AM no announcement were made until the crowd stated getting upset Vivian Green was fine only sang 2 songs at 2:15AM I found out that Keisha Cole just got off the stage at the Barclay center so I left I do not fault the artist I do fault resorts world if anything they should have kept the audience up to date regarding the delays shame on resorts world they acted like thieves taking your money and not delivering the performances people paid for so for that 1 1/2 stars
Jaheim did not show or perform at this venue. I am very disappointed because I only went to see him. I think Jaheim has a wonderful voice and I wanted a chance to see him live in concert. Songkick and ticketmaster promoted this performance and I went from New York to Philly just to be able to see him in concert only to be angered that he wasn't even at the show.
