Data Insight

Jordan is on all thirteen tracks, the only album where that is true, and alone on none of them. Rob Fusari and Focus come in as producers, so a record he wrote every song of is also the one with the widest outside production team to that point.

The self-titled fifth album came out on Def Soul in February 2002, his last for the label. Thirteen tracks in 57:02.
