The main lead singer for Jodeci and the second lead singer for K-Ci and JoJo, much of K-Ci's performance and singing style, defined by an emotive, gospel-flavored rasp, is inspired by soul star Bobby Womack. K-Ci covered Womack's 1981 hit single "If You Think You're Lonely Now" as a single for the Jason's Lyric soundtrack in 1994.
As Womack inspired him, K-Ci inspired another R&B star, Mark "Sisqó" Andrews of the late-1990s R&B group Dru Hill. However, Sisqó and Dru Hill were initially blamed, including by K-Ci himself, of not just using his style as an inspiration, but of outright copying it to fuel their own success.
Between 1992 and 1997, K-Ci had a much-publicized romantic relationship with R&B singer and Uptown Records labelmate Mary J. Blige. Both artists perform on "I Don't Want To Do Anything" from Blige's What's the 411? album, and Blige often toured with Jodeci. Blige and K-Ci split up in 1997; Blige has gone on record a number of times stating that the split was because of alleged domestic violence and drug use.
In 1993, K-Ci and fellow Jodeci member DeVante Swing were involved in an incident with a woman K-Ci met in a club. They later went back to Devante's house. The woman filed charges against the two saying K-Ci fondled her breasts while Devante pointed a gun at her.
In 1999, K-Ci provided vocals for the Will Smith single "Will 2K".
In 2001, K-Ci got into more trouble with the law as he was charged with indecent exposure after he fondled his erect and exposed penis at a show in Los Angeles. He pleaded no contest, paid a fine, and was put on probation.
He now resides in Charlotte, North Carolina with his mother and brother JoJo in a mansion which was shown on MTV Cribs in 2000.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In fact
It was everything prior to that
In fact
I hit the road just to dodge the trap
On my own
This ain't Gomorrah
I ain't lookin back
They ain't hit me back
They left me in the back
Tryna say I snapped
Threw my name in trash
But this is everything
So I ain't need they ass
I'm playing every game
So I don't need to pass
I been on airplanes
I don't see the pass
I'm on the yoke dog
I don't see them cats
Landed everywhere
It wasn't music talk
But I bagged bitches
That refuse to talk
My baddest ones
Never refuse to walk
The wanna be seen
They know who the talk
I'm not even in the town
I'm in them lyrics now
They wanna release right now
They want me beastin out
I'm bout them streets right now
I'll bring the cleats for mounds
On that ether sound
I can't speak for clowns
I can't speak the false
I don't need your calls
I reminisce for flaws
I be speaking tall
Get the creep involved
On everything
I don't need the fog
I'm barely seen
When I'm reaching long
Snagging everything
I be preaching towards
I wanna feel rap like I never rapped
How he think of that wit that lame track
Her ass so fat just because I snapped
That was something that I wrote every time they laughed
Fuck the freestyle
I'm tryna hit a lab
Fuck them freaks nigga
My bitch in a mag
I mean bring the freaks out
They be lusting bad
I'm in the streets now hunting for a bag
I wanna feel this shit like I was young Biggie
Diddy in this bitch in New York City
50 times two I'm the king of something
Never been a troll
I ain't keen on running
Ima hit the road
I won't sleep for nothin
Ima hit my goals and Ima keep on gunning
Ima hit them hoes till I find a woman
I wanna feel rap like when I was younger wit the hunger
Proving the crowds get louder than the thunder
And the cries from a woman
Like a smile from my mother
Man I do it for the loving
I don't do it for the thuggin
But I'll pay'em that's a hunnid
I ain't basic wit the hunting
I ain't basing shit on nothing
If they ain't known to put the time in
Mind on the grinding
On sublime wit the timing
Online wit the sign in
On mine wit 2 dimes gripped
Plus 2 pennies
I'm always ready for the robbery
I'm always steady wit the flow
And the progress
I ain't never petty wit your boys
And your nonsense
You ain't made two pennies
But got the nerve to have a 9 gripped
Man you funny get a purse
For that clout shit
You ain't worthy to get called
From a mountain top
I been pursuing my craft
Got them devils hot
I been after them bags
I can't tell whose not
I just say that it's sad
You can't hit the lot
You probably the praying kind
You tryna hit the lot
You the waiting kind
I can't seem to stop
But I got patience time
I'm like the son of clocks
So I can't waste my time
I'm waiting for the gun to pop
I can prove I'm long
Wit the sweaties off
I can prove I'm him
Make the jury cough
I can prove it all
After a single talk
I can leave her chalked
She won't even walk
I wanna feel rap like I never rapped
How he think of that wit that lame track
Her ass so fat just because I snapped
That was something that I wrote every time they laughed
Fuck the freestyle
I'm tryna hit a lab
Fuck them freaks nigga

I ain't keen on running
Ima hit the road and I won't sleep for nothin
Ima hit my goals and Ima keep on gunning
Ima hit them hoes till I find a woman
I wanna feel rap like when I was younger wit the hunger
For success
I been comparing myself wit the best
I can't really relate wit the rest
I been comin up short wit the rest
God bless though
I'm a mess though
Talkin that shit from the chest
Can't listen they sound too depressed
I'm good
I don't even want sex
What an asshole
At my best since Provance
I been on a dash
Like the Bible they praying
That my word'll last
All my plans are successful
I'm never last
I prepared for failure
Simply learn from that
I won't burn from that
I been cooling
I'm ruling
I'm on top in fact
I been surfing yall waves I'm a Tidal WAV
I be speaking my way
They be hella mad
But I want hella cash
I can't helipad
No landings
I'm sayin
I don't take the path
Have me crashing or standing
I'm a 60 dash
That's a Tesla in 2nd
I don't leave the lab
Unless the cash is in session
I won't speak on facts
If you don't know what you checking
I don't even get mad
Let's just finish this section
I want Biggie cash
Times ocean's eleven
Times bread that'll leaven
Times I'm headed for heaven
I wanna feel rap like I never rapped
How he think of that wit that lame track
Her ass so fat just because I snapped
That was something I wrote every time they laughed
Fuck the freestyle
I'm tryna hit a lab
Fuck them freaks nigga

I want Biggie cash
Times ocean's eleven
Times bread that'll leaven
Times I'm headed for heaven
I desire the same level of wealth as The Notorious B.I.G., multiplied by a significant amount and combined with the wealth depicted in the movie Ocean's Eleven, topped with the financial abundance that can multiply like yeast leavens bread, while also striving for spiritual enlightenment and bliss
