Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day


Artist:Jaheim

Song:The Chosen One

Album:Ghetto Classics





One look at Jaheim Hoagland and you might think he's a badass gangsta rapper. But he's actually a very good R & B crooner and seems to understand his own music very well. Jaheim grew up in the projects in New Brunswick, NJ. His father died in 1981 when he was two. Fortunately his grandfather Victor Hoagland was a former member of The Drifters and encouraged Jaheim to pursue his music. Jaheim's mom died when he was a teen but he continued to enter and win talent contests in the Tri State area. He was signed by Divine Mill Records in 2000 and had a big hit with Could It Be in 2001. Divine Mill Records is owned by Kay Gee from Naughty By Nature. Kay Gee continues to work closely with Jaheim and produced The Chosen One from his latest CD Ghetto Classics. The song is based on the old Willie Hutch song I Choose You. Jaheim has shown that he will have a long career in music if he continues to produce great R & B music. Here's a video of Jaheim performing The Chosen One on BET's 106 & Park.
