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.

    "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."

    "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."

Correspondent

A correspondent or on-the-scene reporter is a journalist or commentator for magazines, or more speaking, an agent who contributes reports to a newspaper, or radio or television news, or another type of company, from a remote, often distant, location. A foreign correspondent is stationed in a foreign country. The term correspondent refers to the original practice of filing news reports via postal letter. The largest networks of correspondents belong to ARD (Germany) and BBC (UK).

Reporter vs. correspondent

A correspondent generally includes some of his/her own perspective on the news. For example, a correspondent is expected to provide considerable context to the events being chronicled. A reporter, on the other hand, offers largely fact-based reporting.

In Britain, the term 'correspondent' usually refers to someone with a specific specialist area, such as health correspondent. A 'reporter' is usually someone without such expertise who is allocated stories by the newsdesk on any story in the news.

    Stand Up! (album)

    Stand Up! (see 1979 in music) was The Archers fifth studio album and fourth Light Records release. It was co-produced by Elvis Presley’s TCB Band keyboardist Larry Muhoberac and studio engineer John Guess.

    Stand Up! was the first album in which former female vocalist Nancye Short-Tsapralis did not participate. Although Tsapralis sang background vocals on the prior Fresh Surrender project (un-credited), Janice Archer’s voice was used on female leads. Recording began in late 1978 and continued through early 1979. It is distinctive for a number of notable guest artist appearances, including Billy Preston, who played the Hammond B-3 on the group’s cover of his spiritual, “God Loves You”, which also featured Sandra Crouch and Nichol Larson on back-up vocals.

    Steely Dan alumnus Ernie Watts was also featured on tenor sax for the up-tempo song "Only His Love". Once again, the group was accompanied by a virtual “who's who” of LA studio players, with David Hungate returning on bass along with Reinie Press and Dean Parks on guitar. Also featured were Archers’ tour band players, Phil Kristianson (keyboards) and Tony Sena (guitar).

    Stand Up

    by: MELEE

    I got in a fight over some stupid insecurities.
    Stepped out of the light.
    When did we lose our old identity?
    Now my white flags are waving around
    'Cause you don't need your best friends bringing you down.
    Something in the air with the smoke and the fire
    Got in my eyes, our eyes singing,
    Stand up, stand up
    Can I be strong enough?
    I'm trying hard to be myself again
    To be myself again.
    I've been tripping over all the rules
    Living my live somebody else's way.
    I've been sinking on this ship of fools,
    Following orders that I can't obey.
    Now my white flags are waving around
    'Cause the choices I've made ran me into the ground.
    Someone's at the crash site digging me out.
    I hope it's you, I hear you singing to me
    Stand up, stand up
    Can I be strong enough?
    I'm trying hard to be myself again
    Stand up, stand up
    Brothers be strong enough.
    We're trying hard to be ourselves again
    To be ourselves again.
    When plans go wrong they won't set the sun.
    When plans go wrong they won't ruin the day.
    Stand up, stand up
    I gotta be strong enough.
    I'm trying hard to be myself again.
    So stand up, stand up.
    Brothers be strong enough.
    We're trying hard to be ourselves again again.
    Stand up, stand up (Stand up, stand up)
    Stand up, stand up, stand up!
    Stand up, stand up (Stand up, stand up)
