Lyfe Change - released in April 2008 - featured a handful of new production associates as well as a verse from T.I. The more hip-hop-oriented follow-up The Phoenix arrived in August 2006, with Three 6 Mafia and Young Buck making guest appearances. A year after its original release, the album was reissued with a new version of "Hypothetically," featuring American Idol winner Fantasia added as a bonus track. Columbia had the right offer and released his debut, Lyfe 268-192 (his inmate number), in August 2004. Lyfe figured he'd sold 1,000 copies of his four-song demo CD during his Apollo "residency." That, along with a ton of calls from promoters and record label execs on his answering machine back in Ohio, influenced Lyfeto move to New York City and pursue a major-label deal. He was booed when he walked on-stage with an acoustic guitar, but when the Apollo audience heard his gritty falsetto and lyrical songwriting, they were swayed - swayed to the tune of five amateur-night victories in a row. He had only a month of freedom before he was on-stage at the famous Apollo. The day after that, he was performing live in a club. Two days after his December 2002 release from prison, he recorded a four-song demo CD. Prison made his music deeper, according to Lyfe, and when a copy of Erykah Badu's Baduizm ended up in his cell in 1997, he was inspired and had the feeling that this introspective edge to his music was worth developing. His musical aspirations started in the church choir and grew up in the Dotsons, a teenage group that Lyfe formed with his brother and a couple cousins. It was an arson charge that put the Toledo, Ohio native in prison. So, to switch places with a woman, I got my stuff and I left.Not that he'd wish it on anyone, but it was during his ten-year sentence in prison that Lyfe Jennings developed his honest sound, thanks to isolation and Erykah Badu. Yeah, needless to say, I mean, neither one of us wasn't feelin it, especially me. Or are you afraid that one day it might find us Or is this just too big a secret to keep it on the low What if I suppress it 'cause technically you're the baby's daddy anyway What if I confessed it and it turns out not to be your baby after you get testedĪnd it destroys what we've been blessed with He came to comfort me and I wound up pregnant What if I said 4 years ago when we were arguing ![]() Well what if I told you that I had a confession Or would me not being honest hurt you more What if I confessed it and though she didn't mean nothing since it happenedĪnd made a vow to never mess with another What if I told you I lied but didn't mean it Fantasia)What if I broke our monogamous agreement ![]()
