With guidance from his cousin Willie Taylor, of Day26 fame, as well as producer Mick Schultz (who Jeremih met during his time at Columbia College Chicago), Jeremih released his debut single Birthday Sex in March 2009, peaking at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. His self-titled debut album was released in June 2009, and debuted at number six on the Billboard 200. His second studio album, All About You, was released in September 2010, featuring guest appearances from Ludacris and 50 Cent.
In December 2011, Jeremih confirmed work on a third album originally entitled Thumpy Johnson, and would later release his first mixtape Late Nights with Jeremih in August 2012. After the release of his collaborative EP No More with producer Shlohmo, Jeremih would change his album title to Late Nights: The Album in August 2014, releasing the EP N.O.M.A [Not on My Album] that same month. With no announcement or promotion prior to the release date, the album was finally released on December 4, 2015, featuring guest appearances from J. Cole, YG, Ty Dolla $ign, Migos, Future, Big Sean, Feather, Juicy J, Twista and JhenΓ© Aiko.
In February 2016, Jeremih confirmed his fourth album title as Later That Night, intending to be another instalment in his Late Nights series. During this year, he released another mixtape entitled Late Nights: Europe and would tour with fellow R&B singer-songwriter PARTYNEXTDOOR, with a project between the two being teased. However, Jeremih was later removed from the tour due to issues between the two artists. By the end of that year though, he would then collaborate with Chance the Rapper for a Christmas project entitled Merry Christmas Lil Mama, which was reissued two more times in 2017 and 2020 with new tracks.
In February 2017, Jeremih released the upcoming album's planned lead single "I Think of You" featuring fellow singer Chris Brown and rapper Big Sean. Three months later, the singer then recorded and released an EP entitled Cinco De MihYo, celebrating the annual Mexican/American tradition. This was followed by another EP in March 2018 entitled The Chocolate Box, as well as his collaborative album with Ty Dolla $ign, MihTy in October of that year.
In November 2020, Jeremih was hospitalized in Chicago after testing positive for COVID-19. By November 14, he was reported to be on a ventilator in the intensive care unit. He was taken off the ventilator on November 19 but remained in critical condition. His spokesman said Jeremih has no underlying conditions. Jeremih was transferred out of intensive care on November 21, into a general hospital to make a full recovery. He was released from the hospital on December 4, 2020.

The song "Pass Dat" by Jeremih is a hedonistic, drug and alcohol-induced anthem that glorifies getting high and partying. The lyrics describe the desire to smoke and drink excessively and repeatedly, with the repetition of "blunt after blunt after blunt" and "cup after cup, gotta double that up." The singer is so impatient to get high that he begs his friends to "pass that shit" repeatedly throughout the song. The lyrics also reference the use of Uber and pulling up in a flashy car, suggesting that the character is wealthy and enjoys showing off his success. The song is a celebration of hedonistic excess and a desire to escape reality through substance use.
One interesting fact about the song is that it samples a beat from a 1998 song called "Goodlife" by Kanye West's mentor, rapper Common. Another interesting fact is that the song was co-written by Ty Dolla Sign, who also contributed to the outro of the song. Additionally, "Pass Dat" features a slowed-down version of the chorus melody from the song "Step in the Name of Love" by R. Kelly. The song was released in 2015 and was the lead single from Jeremih's third studio album, Late Nights. It was met with critical acclaim and peaked at number 79 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Another fact is that the "Pass Dat" music video features cameos from famous musicians like Chance the Rapper, Young Thug, and Big Sean. The video was directed by Daniel Czernilofsky and Vincent Lou Film. The song was remixed by several other artists, including The Weeknd, who released a remix titled "Pass Dat (The Weeknd Remix)." The original song has been legally used in several films and TV shows, including the movie "Get Hard" and the TV show "Lethal Weapon."
The chords for "Pass Dat" are as follows:
Verse: F#m - E - D - C#m (x2)
Chorus: F#m - E - D - C#m (x4)
Outro: F#m - E - D
Overall, "Pass Dat" is a catchy and hedonistic song that celebrates substance use and party culture. The repetitive lyrics and catchy melody make it an easy-to-dance-to track for those who enjoy hip hop and rap music. However, it also raises important questions about the societal influence of drug and alcohol culture and the dangers of addiction.

Blunt after blunt after blunt after blunt
Smoking one blunt after another continuously
After blunt after blunt after, hey
Repeating the cycle and enjoying it
Cup after cup, gotta double that up
Drinking back to back cups and wanting more
I've been waitin' on this all day
Looking forward to this moment for the whole day
Nigga pass that shit, yeah
Passing the joint to the next person
Nigga pass that shit
Asking for the joint to be passed
The blunt up, the blunt up, the blunt up, the blunt up today
Lighting up the joint once again
I called up the Uber but then I pulled out the Range grind that shit yeah
Starting to grind more weed to roll more joints
Then grab that bitch
Rolling the joint tightly and securely
I roll up to pull up, I'm stuntin', I'm stuntin', hey
Arriving in style with confidence
I smoke up to pull up, I pull up and I'm like, hey that's that nigga hey
Feeling good and confident with the arrival of another person
Yeah that's that nigga
Recognizing the presence of someone cool
What you women talkin' 'bout?
Not paying attention to the conversation women are having
I only wanna get up there
Just interested in smoking more weed
A bad bitch rollin' up some good
Having a beautiful and attractive woman who can roll joints
Light it up and hand me it
Passing the joint once it's lit
All I wanna do, trouble up
Wanting to smoke more and cause trouble
Extendo doubled up
Rolling a longer joint to last longer
Tired as fuck ain't no more work
Feeling too tired to do anything else
Ease my mind, that's where it hurt
Smoking weed to feel better mentally
Pull up in somethin' that go skrrt
Arriving with a cool vehicle that can make screeching sounds
Fishtailin' like we Dirk
Drifting the vehicle like Dirk
Feel like Ray J for the purp
Feeling wealthy and successful because of the weed
Come and let me hit it first
Asking for the first puff
I'mma pass it if it's some gas
Willing to pass the joint if the weed is strong
I'mma pull up, might forget to ask
Having a plan to come through and smoke without asking
Smokin' ivory, passin' plenty
Passing the joint to many people while smoking a lot of weed
Roll the 'Wood up so it can last
Rolling the joint tightly and carefully to make it last longer

Damn okay this is def one the best songs I've heard this year. Damn this is Probably Jeremih's best song. Fucking futuristic R&B classic right here. Jeremih is one of the most underrated artists today, he's better than all of the rappers that he sings hooks for. Now it's his time to shine with Late Nights: the Album. We might be in for a classic and one of the years best. He's probably the innovator of this current "Clatchet" (Classy & Ratchet) sound.
