Jodeci Has A New Member

Jodeci is officially back after years of speculation they are back and better than ever they are all clean & sober and the reality show based mostly on members K-Ci & JoJo will premiere in September on TV-One showing their lives with family and friends and them getting completely sober it has worked as they are not embarrasing themselves in public anymore.

The big news is DeVante & Dalvin DeGrate will appear on the show and it inspired the DeGrate brothers to be clean of drinking and weed smoking as well. Not only that DeVante & Dalvin's middle brother Derek DeGrate is now a member of Jodeci. It's on wikipedia and it's been confirmed. The new album will drop early 2011 and they finally got out of the bad deal with Interscope.

As Jodeci & K-Ci & JoJo they are now with Babyface and his new label Soda Pop Records don't laugh at Babyface's title. Maybe Babyface & DeVante can get down on some Jodeci tracks together. The album will be called simply K-Ci JoJo DeVante Dalvin Derek/We Are Back. Derek like his older brother DeVante & younger brother Dalvin is a talented musician but he is also a excellent singer he played instruments on Jodeci's past work and sang background vocals so he was always the ghost 5th member now he's officially the visible 5th member. Like I mentioned their first album as a quintet will come first quarter of 2011 with Babyface's label. DeVante will also release a solo album called Swingin Love

Also Dalvin DeGrate has signed a new solo deal with Def Jam Records and recording his sophomore effort, Met.A.Mor.Phic 2: The Rivalry Of A Singer & A Rapper and appearances by DeVante, Method Man, Redman, Ludacris, Drake, & more. Derek is also doing a album as well he was working on before he officially joined Jodeci. So the 3 DeGrate brothers will all do solo projects on the side. K-Ci & JoJo will do another duo album as well working with DeVante Babyface and their crew they usually work with they themselves are writing along with Rory Bennett, Mike Smoov etc.

Haha but Dru Hill had to cause Woody quit and either he or Jazz almost quit which was why they added Scola he didn't work and Woody quit so Tao is in. Their dynamics are better as a quartet than trio so they had to get another member to fill Woody's void. As for Jodeci Derek was always the 5th member of Jodeci and he's the brother of DeVante & Dalvin so I understand and after seeing why they added Scola and later Tao I understood Dru Hill's position.

Come on Dru Hill's third album Dru World Order was only gonna be Sisqo Nokio & Woody if they didn't bring Scola. Jazz probably said I know they not tryin to replace me and changed his mind about leaving so he returned which is why their were 5 members instead of 4 on Dru World Order.

Meh. They finally are actually getting together for an album and then they add a new member? sigh I'll believe it when I see it. Besides, other than for speaking in the beginning of songs, DeVante was pretty much mute anyway. lol

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

I thought they did an Album a while back there were ads in vibe then ... nothing
I liked Jodeci back in the day. I wonder where they would fit in now though. Sadly they kinda started the whole half thug/half lover boy image that dominates R&B and they may not fit as elder statesmen.

I know what happen lol , I liked Dru World Order I thought it was underrated at that time.But of course most of the time the fans want the Original members that had alot to do with why they weren't successful when they added a new lineup.
