| The second album
to come out of the 'J records' camp. First was the newest music sensation, Alicia Keys's
"Keys in A Minor". With the huge momentum behind her, and Jimmy Cozier's first
single "She's All I Got"....Clive Davis's J Records has come out the gate
firing. Can Jimmy C's first album continue the sucess? Let's see. 10 Love Commandments The first track on this album has Jimmy Cozier laying down the ten
love commandments...one should never break them. This is some deep/hot ish, and definately
some laws that Vigilante will be keeping close to his heart. Also, this appears to be a
Wycles produced track...so like he did with City High. This is one of those message tracks
with a nice groove.

"Number 3, remember what you told that priest. Through sickness and in health. You
said you'd always be with me." - Jimmy Cozier
So Much To Lose
On this track Jimmy sings off many excuses to avoid telling his girl the truth. He can't
tell her the truth, cause she's so much to lose.
$3.00
"Lost track of time hanging with the fellas. My jeep broke down, had to change the
tires. My cell was off, didn't get the message. Should've just told her the truth, but I
can't. Cause she's so much to lose." - Aaliyah
She's All I Got First single off the album, and I don't know if this song is just
so hot..or if Vigilante can relate to this bastard so damn much. On this track Jimmy sings
about his girl that drives him mad sometimes, he ain't lettin her go cause she's all he
got.
$5.00
"Sometimes I love her, sometimes I love her not. I ain't lettin her go, cause she's
all I got. Although she nags me and complains alot, I ain't lettin her go." - Jimmy
Cozier
"With her I have grown, With Her home is
home. I would never turn my back on my baby..I can't do that." - Jimmy Cozier
No More Playing Games Jimmy takes this bad boy to
church in a way, as he basically gets some shit off his chest about he's no longer playing
any damn games, and that he's no longe
$3.75
"Girl I'm tired of playing games with you. Keep it up and we gon be through. Since
you wanna act like a god damn fool, then you wanna play like everythings cool." -

Heartfelt Letter Here, Jimmy C sings about a
heartfelt letter he has to write to his loved one who he did wrong, and wants back. This
song is pretty hot, and very emotional. "If the ink ran out of this pen, I'd use my
tears to fill it in." Man...talk about heartfelt.
$4.00
What The Deal A
club/dance island type track where Cozier talks about how he met this girl and he wants to
take her out in his jeep, but he want to know what the deal..and if she come, come
real. Not as heartfelt or deep as the other tracks, but kind of catchy.
$1.25
Two Steps I heard this song somewhere before. Oh yeah, the Dr.
Dolittle 2 soundtrack. Didn't like it then..don't like it now. On this dance track, Jimmy
talks about whenever he takes on step foward...his girl takes two step back. Nice track,
but no real substance
$.50
Cheated Cozier sings
to his boy about a girl who cheated once, and will do it again cause she ain't no damn
good.
$2.75
"Cause if she cheated on him, then she'll cheat on you.
Don't listen to what she say, watch what she do. She's like a thief in the night, the way
she keep people fooled. And like a worm in an apple, she gone eat right through." -
Jimmy Cozier
Time Stands Still - Another Wyclef produced track. And wherever there
is Wyclef, there is a message in the song. Here is no different. Here, Jimmy sings about
how Time stands still for no one, and that he has to move on and get his. Nice message,
but not really a good track.
$.50
Gave You Love On this
unispired ballad, Jimmy sing about how he gave his woman love, money, ect and that she did
him wrong.
$.50
Mr. Man The beat on
this bad boy brings the heat. Bongos mixed with violins, and of course Alicia on the
Ivories. On this track, Alicia and Jimmy change up their style a little to make an
addictive song that people can just hum and listen to.
$5.50
Stay Strong On this track, Jimmy C tries to get inspirational on us as he sends
messages out there to mothers who don't have fathers to help raise their children, and
anyone else who feels that life is coming down too hard. Keep your head up and stay
strong.
$4.00
She's All I Got Same song as before, except for this time we get the hot vocals of
Fabalous. WHERE THE FUCK IS THIS GUYS ALBUM?!?! Sorry...anwyay, the song is equally hot.
$5.00
Though Jimmy Cozier's self titled album
doesn't flow all the way through as well as Alicia Keys's album, it certainly holds it's
own. Jimmy Cozier brings thoughts and depth to most of his tracks, and certainly continues
the eclectic r&b that has been so well created from Alicia, Jill Scott, Music
Soulchild and the like. His album has a couple of screw ups in the mix, but in no
way do they take away from the overall enjoyment of this album.
Album worth: $39.25
