Jordan attended Pepperdine University in California to pick up a bachelor's degree in communications, graduating summa cum laude and was a state finalist for the Rhodes Scholarship.
Jordan's first single was the 1995 #1 hit single "This Is How We Do It", and defined his hip hop soul musical style. "This Is How We Do It" and its follow-up, "Somethin' 4 Da Honeyz", show a strong hip hop influence, and Jordan's material fit alongside the rest of Def Jam's output. Future hits would include "Let's Ride" with Master P in 1998 and "Get It on Tonite" in late-1999.
Besides crafting his own material, Jordan has written and produced for a number of outside artists, including Christina Milian, 98 Degrees, Deborah Cox ("Nobody's Supposed to Be Here", 1998), and SisqΓ³ (the number-one hit "Incomplete", 2000). The singer has had cameo roles in the films "The Fighting Temptations" and "The Nutty Professor."
Jordan left Def Soul in 2003 and released the album "Life After Def" on Koch Records.
Jordan released his 7th project - "Let It Rain" - on October 21, 2008.
In 2010, Jordan left the music business to become a minister. As he explained on his Twitter feed, the decision is "a calling thatβs probably been with me all my life since I was a child. And Iβve known it. A lot of people in the business know it and have the same calling but that leap of faith is difficult."

Remember me (let's get rowdy)
(Let's ride) Yeah, yeah
Yo, Montell when you walk baby girl to the lobby, uh

Stepped in the club, after my show
You know the spot, where everybody's on the low low (let's get rowdy)

She told me she liked Master P and Montell occasionally
So I laid back, put a fifty in my mouth
Said I wanna see you shake it girl
'Cause that's what that 'bout it, 'bout it's 'bout (let's get rowdy)
All my niggas in the club was jealous of me
'Cause I waited for it, I stayed for
And I'm damn near 'bout to pay for it

Mr. Mayhem
First time I ever heard this song was in a booming strip club in Los Angeles.
I remember, 10 minutes after we walked in, I heard this song come on and saw the girls start dancing to it. Let me tell you, this is one of the hottest songs to strip to even today.
I saw the most gorgeous girl I have ever seen on the floor next to the stage dancing to this song. She had on platform boots that came up to her thighs, a tiny skirt, a bikini top with glitter all over it, and a cowgirl hat, bleach blonde hair and a whip in her hand.
I had a long conversation with her after wards and learned a lot about exotic dancers. Most of them hate their job but can't let go because the money is amazing, especially in LA.
She was a single mother with two little girls and had no family at all.
I ran into her about 2 weeks later at a gas station and she eventually became my girlfriend, and a year and a half later we were married and still are, happily.
That's my story that sort of goes along with this song. What's yours? ;)
Mr. Mayhem
I remember hearing this song for the very first time in a strip joint in West Covina, California.
Just watching the sexxxy ass bitches on stage dancing to it is an image that I will never forget. Certainly one of the more upscale strip clubs I have ever seen.
Every time I hear this jam, I think about that night and this one dancer in particular that I had a conversation with later on that night.
One of the most stunning women I have ever seen. She was a single mother of 2 girls and hated her job but the Money was just too good. I learned a lot about that profession that night, and I now look at exotic dancers/strippers/topless dancers in a whole new light.
I think about her from time to time, wondering how she is doing after 15 years.
No clue what her last name is either. Oh well. Let's ride!
