Montell Jordan began singing in his hometown of Los Angeles in talent shows, church choirs, and later nightclubs. After graduating from Pepperdine University, he spent seven years looking for a record deal, finally getting an opportunity through Paul Stewart, the president of PMP Records. Jordan and Stewart flew to New York, where Jordan sang for Russell Simmons and was promptly signed to a contract. For his first album, Jordan heavily sampled B.B. King tracks (the first to do so), and took his lyrical inspiration from the more positive side of life in his native South Central L.A. in an attempt to balance the negative pictures coming out of most SoCal gangsta rap. Jordan was rewarded with a massive number one smash in the party anthem "This Is How We Do It," which sold over one million copies. More... followed in 1996; although it didn't match the success of This Is How We Do It, it was nevertheless a minor hit, peaking within the Top 20 of the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Let's Ride (1998) and Get It On...Tonite (1999) were more successful by a marginal measure. Under constant pressure to deliver another hit on the level of "This Is How We Do It," Jordan heralded his 2002 self-titled album as "the 1st MONTELL JORDAN album," but it failed to make any commercial impact. A year later, he issued the tellingly-titled Life After Def, one of his most artistically accomplished albums, through the relatively hands-off Koch label. Nearly five years passed prior to his second independent release, Let It Rain. — Steve Huey & Andy Kellman
