Career [link]

His well known trademark is hollering "Ladies and Gentlemen!" at the beginning, and sometimes at the end of the tracks he has contributed to.

He made an early appearance on Erick Sermon's 1995 album Double or Nothing performing on a skit and collaborating with Sermon on "Man Above".

Jazze Pha's first hit was the club anthem from Tela, "Sho Nuff", the label banner of the producer's company.

His first production was for Gerald Levert, Keith Sweat, and Johnny Gill on supergroup LSG's first album, with the fresh "Let A Playa Get His Freak On", in 1997.

Other artists he has collaborated with include Notorious B.I.G, Nelly, Ludacris, T.I., U.G.K., Lil Wayne, Nate Dogg, Ras Kass, Trick Daddy, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Petey Pablo, Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopes, Big Boi, Ciara, Aaliyah, Girlicious and Eightball & MJG.

Pha also helped Ciara start out her career. He produced the hit single, which was titled "1, 2 Step", which featured Missy Elliott, which was included on her debut album which was named Goodies, which was released in 2004. He also produced the tracks which were called "Thug Style", "Pick Up the Phone", and "Lookin' at You". Two years later in 2006, he produced her hit single, which was called "Get Up", the song featured Chamillionaire, and was included on her album named Ciara: The Evolution. The two have not worked since then,because Pha says they have not seen eye-to-eye.

  1. ^ (2007, April 14) Let's Hear It For The Girl, Billboard
    "Deniece Williams is not Jazze Pha's mom. While chatting about the pending release of her first R&B album in more than 10 years, the Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter wants to clear up a misconception she has been hearing and reading the past two years.
    'I applaud him and his success,' Williams says of Pha, who has produced hits by Ciara and others. 'But he is not my son.'
    For the record — confirmed by Pha's dad, Bar-Kays member James Alexander — the confusion surfaced because his son's mother shares the same name as the singing Williams."
  2. ^ Tolliver, Vincent. "Jazze Pha: Behind The Music", bet.com, Music section
    "Jazze Pha has been surrounded by music all his life. His father is James Alexander, bass guitarist for the Bar Kays. His mother, Denise Williams, is an accomplished singer, having worked with everyone from Earth, Wind, and Fire to Barbra Streisand. But she is not the same Deniece Williams that R&B fanatics have come to know and love. 'Yea man straighten that out,' he says, referring to the belief that his mother is the legendary singer."
  3. ^ Galloway, A. Scott. "Love & Lunch... Niecy Style", Urban Network, Interviews section
    "Jazze Pha has a mother named Denise Williams that people keep mistaking for me."
  4. ^ Thomas, Christopher "Milan". "Jazze Pha: Party Music & Songs For Your Car", allhiphop.com, Features section, July 2006
    "If you think Deniece Williams is my mom, she's not ... My mom's name is Denise Williams, and people twisted that and ran with it. Now, I get people who want to argue with me that say, 'Yeah, that is your mama!' No, it’s not."

Why U

by: Tela

[Tela]
I do it like sho' nuff, baby what's up
Ya comin with me, then park ya ass in the truck
Thug, off in the wind now call ya friends
Cuz I got some homeboys that love to spit
But it ain't trick-ed, don't get it twisted
The just stank-hoes they can do the click quick
Yeah that's all, you know it cost to ball
And them Long Beach seein it all, now watch it dawg
ATM was the spot, and it was hella hot
And it will never stop, watchin me in the drop
Roll by in stones, they blowin my high
But I gotta do this, cuz mom and pops supply
When I'm finished with this, go back to the Swiss
Get a glass and sip, sit back and twist
Then I rest for a minute cuz it's hard on a body
J.D. Chi Chi have a blow out party, aye
[Hook x2: Jermaine Dupri]
You steady be runnin ya mouth
Tellin my folks I be burnin you out
Tellin yo friends you ain't gettin wit me
When you know you be dealin wit me
[Tela]
Baby ask me like uh, "is those wooden frames?"
Askin me like uh, "is those the cuts in ya ring?"
If you don't chill baby you can't hang
You need to sit yo'self back and try to soak some game
While you runnin yo mouth, I been feelin you out
And I'm figurin out, that you silly without
no porn in ya view, you loose yo moves
My man got a song that you can dance to
[sung:] Time is on my side
No time on the clock, pour wine out ya spot
Bust rhymes while you watch, with a line on the lot
Cain't stop, won't stop, my hits
Too rich, and I gotta be slick
Cuz I watch alla y'all operatin like doctors
Really on the cool, y'all should get the Oscars
[Hook x2: Jermaine]
[Tela]
Now I love it when a girl come and take straight charge (yeah)
Get to the telly and touch all pause
Pretty redbone with some baby aww
Let's try to recall, this chick reach all
At the same time she was kinda sexy and timid
I'ma say she was "Bout It" cuz she had +No Limits+
Wanna hang out, let the mayne out, wanna bang out
and classy with the plastic, latex thang out (whaaa!)
Real fun, Hil-ton, here's one
Do it with the ice until it's nice and numb
It's a party party, while I'm drinkin on rum
So move ya body body, and go on flip ya tongue
She got lungs, eat me all up like lunch
Conceited when she walk through the front
Betta points, she came to do what she came to do
Poor attitude, but I'm havin you
