Lyfe
Jennings is talented, amazing, story teller with that true R&B soul sound.
As I’m sitting here listening to all of his music, I am truly astonished how
his lyrics tell a story. This forty year old singer-songwriter, record producer
and instrumentalist from Toledo,
Ohio has had his struggles
throughout his life. He served for 10 years for felony arson that was in 1992. He
was released from prison in 2002 and his debut album was out in 2004. It was
called “Lyfe 268-192”. It went platinum. I really like this album, it is
soulful and he is singing about his life struggles. Even though he has put out
4 more albums since his debut he seems to still struggle in his personal life. In
2008 he got into an argument with the mother of his child. The singer kicked
down the door of a house in Smyrna,
Georgia, in an
attempt to find Joy Pound and later fired a gun outside. Smyrna
police reported a 2005 Corvette fleeing the scene, and Jennings was caught after a high-speed chase
that ended when the singer smashed the vehicle. He refused a sobriety test. Jennings was handed
misdemeanor charges of criminal trespass, discharging a firearm near a public
highway and refusal to take a DUI test, in addition to two felony counts of
attempting to elude an officer and possession of a firearm by a convicted
felon. He served 2 years (2010-2012). Even though with all his challenges Lyfe
Jennings is an amazing talent that is so underrated. It was hard for me to
choose my favorite songs from Lyfe Jennings but I put together a small list and
here it is, “Hypothetically”, “Must Be Nice”, “Never Never Land”, “Let's Stay
Together”, “Stick Up Kid”, “Will I Ever”, “Cry”, “If Tomorrow Never Comes”,
“Goodbye”, “I'll Always Love You”, “ABCs”, "Haters",
"Hero", “It Coulda Been Worse”, “26 years, 17 days”, “Made Up My
Mind” and “She Got Kids”. Streetwise Radio is playing the gift to the music
