Young Rome

Just as <a href="spotify:artist:4XDxFeclKBCFPb30yQlRUH">Immature</a> eventually morphed into <a href="spotify:artist:0WsQby2bU6kzZcvikYRdms">IMx</a>, Jerome "Romeo" Jones officially became Young Rome, and set to securing a piece of pop-rap real estate. In spring 2004, coming off a supporting role in the <a href="spotify:artist:51d3rUlLuMh7EW09aMe7yj">B2K</a> dance vehicle You Got Served, Rome dropped the single "After Party," which featured an introduction from his <a href="spotify:artist:51d3rUlLuMh7EW09aMe7yj">B2K</a> pal <a href="spotify:artist:0f5nVCcR06GX8Qikz0COtT">Omarion</a>. "Welcome to my after party/Hope that you're feeling naughty" -- with its chattering beats and blatant sentiment, the cut was hedonistic fluff in a direct line from the <a href="spotify:artist:3WilJWdCNLSU7fpYjiKb7v">Cassidy</a>/<a href="spotify:artist:2mxe0TnaNL039ysAj51xPQ">R. Kelly</a> collaboration "Hotel" and <a href="spotify:artist:3s2wTjWxK8NOX09dmsvVOh">Chingy</a>'s "Holidae In." The full-length Food for Thought was slated by Universal for a June release. ~ Johnny Loftus, Rovi
