North Carolina natives and brothers Cedric (K-Ci) and Joel (JoJo) Hailey best known as the front men of Jodeci, had some success as well when they left the group, though in my opinion they were never as good as they were as part of Jodeci. This is a collection of some of their songs from their 4 albums "Love Always", "It's Real", "X", and "Emotional" as well as a few songs off of soundtracks. With 18 songs on here you get a good range of some of the songs they recorded over the 8 year span after the Jodeci years. Of the 18, 11 are good (a few being real good or classics) and the other 7 are average. One song is a K-Ci solo and remake of a great old song, and one songs has Babyface featured on it. If you're huge fans of the 2 I'd pick it up but otherwise I think there's a little too much filler material even for a hits album.

I'm still speechless after listening to this album the past 2 days! K-Ci and JoJo's greatest hits' album just sounds great! The vocal talents are so soulful here. Sometimes, K-Ci reminds me of Bobby Womack vocally in his prime. And JoJo has some good pipes too. All My Life is still a classic some 8 years later. The album's mostly midtempo songs and ballads, but the performances are so dynamic! I still like Last Night's Letter, Tell Me It's Real, You Bring Me Up, I Care About You, the song from the Stella soundtrack and others. One other surprise here is Life, which sounds like it could have been done in one take, because K-Ci's voice sounds so pure here. Same with K-CI's If You Think You're Lonely Now. The offerings from the four albums and the soundtrack albums are so well balanced. You are going to be moved by this album!!!!

This album is great. Only gripe I have is the missing song "Beautiful" from the NY Undercover soundtrack. And of course, the Jodeci songs. Maybe they will release a remastered Jodeci compilation someday.

This is one of my fav. CD's I have been bumping recently... K-Ci & Jojo are an incredible duo, and this really proves if you actually listen to it that they don't need Jodeci, cause they own by themselves...

Being a Hip Hop Producer, I must say thease are excellently produced tracks... All My Life, I don't know if they got an orchestra to get that sound, or it was all one man, but the production on that song alone is incredible.

If you have someone you love, or a girl that you really like, every song on here can relate to your emotions for them. I love singing along to "All my Life", and "Tell Me It's Real" with my girlfriend, especially "All My Life" cause it say's exactly what I think about her, but I could never put it in words that well.

Also what is up with thease DEVante d***riders? Dude isnt that great, his production techniques, and his sound is lackluster at best. His best work wasnt even with Jodeci, it was on All Eyez on Me by 2Pac... The production fits K-Ci & Jojo's style much better, and is far better on this.

Overall, this is 5/5 , a great album...

My 4 Fav. tracks are...

All My Life

Don't Rush (Take It Slowely)

Tell me It's Real

Crazy

But really everything on here is dope.

Interestingly, before this album was released, I'd put together my own mix of their greatest hits & while my track order is different, all my favorites are on here. Kci & Jojo are at their best when they're killin tha powerful love songs. 'If you think you're lonely now,' and Can't find the words,' remain my top 2 ballads. I can never get enuf of these 2!

A lot of these songs are great. These guys know what true R&B is. The best tracks are: Last Night's Letter, Bring Me Up, All My Life, Tell Me It's Real, Crazy, Girl, Don't Rush, This Very Moment and Down For Life. A couple tracks sound bad, but overall, this CD is great for making love and dedicate to your loved ones.

Come on people! Kci and jojo and awesomely amazing incredibly the best of all time. Their beautiful voices, amazing lyrics! What more could we possibly ask

for? Their talents are truly given directly to them from GOD himself and I won't

believe anything else. Listen to their music and you'll be feelin' it allright!

Already K-ci and Jo-jo!!! I love you guys and can't wait to meet you even though

that won't be until we get to Heaven! I thank God for you! You are one of my lifes biggest blessings of all. I send you both a big hug and kiss!!! Thank you!!

you explained every thing that i needed to know about the music , when i received the cds they were clear no scrapping or awful sound . all was good , i love them , plaining to buy more

Why would they chop the song If you think your lonely now, I think it would be nice to listen to the intire song the way it was played on the radio, and the way it came out on the single cassett back in the day!

What's the point of this "Greatest Hits" really? First of all, like a few have said, this should be a "Best Of" because K+J have only a few actual "hits" to their name. Secondly, if you have 4 of their albums (as I do), or 3, or even just 2, there's no point for this.

Where are the unreleased tracks, or the tracks that appear on Japanese versions (such as "I Just Can't Leave" or "Impossible" - both great songs)? And of course there should be at least 2 brand new songs.

Lastly, WHY in the world did K-Ci & JoJo get a "Greatest Hits" released before Jodeci? You might say 'if K+J's GHs is pointless, so would a Jodeci GHs' ... but you're wrong because Jodeci needs to get their name out again. K-Ci & JoJo, on the other hand, released their lame "Emotional" album just a few years ago.

This is ALL from a guy who thinks K-Ci is the best singer in the world and JoJo is RIGHT behind him (just due to my preference, because JoJo's got an angelic voice). The two always sound amazing, but their songs are NOT up to what these two's standards should be.

K+J, settle whatever is wrong with Jodeci. Your vocals are best suited for Dalvin and DeVante's productions.
