Data Insight
Thirteen of fourteen tracks carry his name, with only an interlude left uncredited. Leaving the major label cut the production team down to two people and left his writing share untouched, which suggests the co-writing was never something the label imposed.
Life After Def came out on Koch in October 2003, his first album away from Def Jam and its labels. Fourteen tracks, produced by Jordan with Jor Ja Black.
