After releasing his album Lyfe Change in 2008, the singer signed a new deal with another company, Warner Bros. The most well-known singles are The River and Slow Down. In 2006, Jennings released the next album, The Phoenix, which turned out to be more hip-hop and Three 6 Mafia and Young Buck made guest appearances in that.
Another great track from this album is Stick Up Kid. By the way, this album included the song about the church, Made up my mind, which has a relevant topic because in childhood Lyfe used to sing in the choir. The numbers “268-192” represent Lyfe’s identification number in prison. Jennings has sold more than 1,000 CD copies with his four singles.Ī post shared by Lyfe Jennings on at 6:24am PDTĪfter that, he moved to New York, where he signed a contract with Columbia Records, and in summer 2004 Lyfe’s first album titled Lyfe 268-192 got released. When the Apollo Showtime audience heard his falsetto and felt the point of his songs, they started dancing slowly.
In a month, he was performing at the Apollo Theater in New York. Just two days after his release, Lyfe recorded his debut CD with four singles.
While being in jail, the artist found a sort of escape in music. In 2002, Jennings got released from the prison after serving ten years here. The singer Lyfe Jenningsĭuring the 1990s, Lyfe started having legal issues, and his music career took a pause when he was sent to prison for an arson charge at the age of 14. As a teenager, Jennings used to sing in a church choir, and then he performed as a part of the band called “The Dotsons” which also included his brother and two cousins. The artist has four siblings, and he lost his father at a young age, that we know from his songs Ghetto Superman and More Than A Girl (album The Phoenix, 2006). Lyfe Jennings was born in 1978 in Toledo, Ohio. All Chester’s studio albums have peaked in the Top 10 of Billboard's R&B chart. He also plays the guitar, bass, and piano which you can hear in his songs. Album DescriptionChester Jermaine Jennings is an American R&B and soul singer and songwriter. See More Your browser does not support the audio element. Nothing fancy, nothing outrageous - just humbled, wise, thoughtful modern soul. A couple cuts are lighthearted compared to what's expected from him, and a couple beats are uncharacteristically uptempo, but for the most part, this is another solid Jennings album. He continues to spin real-life tales and handle serious issues, as on the skeletal but seductive "It's Real" (where his attraction to a woman shifts from heated to cautionary), the Bob Marley-referencing "Wild, Wild, Wild" (the Wyclef collaboration, about losing your way as the exchange for the seeking of fame), and "Never Never Land" (where he sings of settling down and growing up in every sense, closing with "30 is not the new 20/It's the same old 30"). He does do a little less of the heavy lifting, seeking out some assistance from the Underdogs, Wyclef Jean, and a couple other associates from his Jesus Swings production house, but Lyfe Change is still very much a Lyfe Jennings album - it's not as if his label directed him away from what came natural throughout 2004's Lyfe 268-1's The Phoenix. Lyfe Jennings' third album doesn't involve all that much change, at least not on the surface.
