Known as the sexy bad boys of the R&B scene, Jodeci is made up of Jo-Jo Hailey, Donald “DeVante Swing” DeGrate and Cedric “K-Ci” Hailey, with Dalvin DeGrate joining at a later date. No strangers to success, Jodeci’s smooth sounds have been topping the charts since the early 90s, when they released Forever My Lady. The album featured the gold single, “Come and Talk to Me,” and sold over three million copies. They belt out powerful ballads and jazzy love songs with seductive beats that concertgoers can’t help but sway along to at their live shows. Their tours have been selling out across the country since the early 90s, and the band continues to shine during their reunions. They radiate energy and wrap the audience in their smooth, soulful sounds.
The foursome are natives of North Carolina, and their music is heavily influenced by their experience singing gospel music as youngsters. Rapper Heavy D was instrumental in the band’s success, convincing Uptown president Andre Harrell into signing them after hearing their demo. It’s hard to miss the enormous talent evident in each of their three records, but "Forever My Lady" was definitely their initial ticket to success. On the band’s third album The Show, the After-Party, the Hotel they were able to work with R&B legend Al Green on the song “Could This Be the Love.” Jodeci's sound is admired in many different musical circuits, from R&B to soul to gospel to easy listening, and their fans applaud their musical prowess and ability to pump so much sexy magic into each of their songs.

Really loved the show but kc need to do better this is the second show I have seen kc Jojo /jodecci kc need to go back to rehab but other in group was great and I think it will be nice taking pictures with stars at each event
Rickey Smiley was awesome. The concert was good until Jodeci performed. I will never attend a concert that they will be performing.
Magic City Music Fest was a concert with extreme highs and extreme lows....Doug E Fresh outperformed EVERY act that was a part of this show and was phenomenal...It is truly hard to perform as an artist after his set is complete b/c he works the crowd from start to finish...Dru Hill performed amazing and is a quality act if they are on a concert ticket...SWV did not disappoint but deserved to be the opening act as they are TRULY a warm up act...WARNING - If you are a Jodeci fan, please DO NOT attend any Jodeci concerts as they are NOT the same anymore...From the moment they hit the first note, people began to leave the show immediately...They only showed up with 3 out of the 4 but even if they had all 4, nothing could've saved them...I am a HUGE fan but after the 2nd song, it was a wrap for me...They are NO LONGER a headline OR an opening act...ITS OVER for JODECI...Hope this review helps
Dru Hill, SWV were really good. Their voices still sound great. The only thing I didn't like is that they didn't have a live band. They sang to an instrumental track, but they sounded good. Doug E. Fresh was the so live!!! He turned it out! Jodeci had a live band, but it was wasted on them. I didn't like them and a lot of the audience left during their set. I still definitely recommend this show!
Can you say, "What the heck, Jodeci!?!" Obviously, KC needs some help quick. Disappointing for my first show of these guys. Many prayers guys! Luckily, SWV, Dru Hill, Doug E. Fresh and Rickey Smiley were 'point-on.'
The show was awesome. Rickey Smiley's comedy was a great break in between acts. Definitely going back next year.
The entire concert was awesome, Jocedi was a little disappointing.
The Concert was awesome !!! except for Jodeci. They need to go into retirement.
The concert was great. I would love to see Dru Hill again.
THE CONCERT AND COMEDY WAS AWESOME!!!!! LOTS OF ENERGY!!!! CAN HARDLY WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR! THANK YOU, RICKEY SMILEY!!!!!
The lineup was out of order. Nokio of Dru Hill was sloppy drunk. They were uncoordinated in their attire and moves. The new guy was carrying the group. Cisco couldn't hit his notes anymore. Jodeci was an extreme disappointment. Devante didn't even bother to show up and they just went on with the show without acknowledging it. K-Ci was drunk as usual. They had all sorts of engineering issues. Neither of the two groups seemed to put forth much effort. They just BSd and I was insulted. They sucked and should just stop touring. On the other hand. SWV WAS GREAT. DOUG E FRESH WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND RICKY WAS HILARIOUS.
I truly enjoyed this concert. All of the acts were good but Doug E Fresh stole the show. SWV still sound and look good. Dru Hill did their thang and they all still have their voices. I went to see DeVante of Jodeici but he was a NO SHOW and the group did not even acknowledge his absence. I was a little disapointed in their performance but I still love them and had a good time.
Dougie saved the show!! Dru Hill sounded pretty good!
This was the best concert I have seen in a while!!
Enjoyed show until Jodeci came out they were horrible.I really lived Doug E Fresh
I really enjoyed the show up until Jodeci came on. I think they could have been more professional. K Ci really disappointed me. I even think Ricky Smiley was kind of dismayed by the way they ended their performance with K Ci throwing the mic to the floor like they put on a hell of a show. Real disappointment.
I really enjoyed the show. SWV, Dru Hill and Doug E fresh were phenomenal. Jodeci was awful. Drugs have ruined K C. Keep them off the next show
Everyone did an awesome job except Jodeci. KC was drunk messed up the group. Shouldn't have been the headline. SWV, DRU HILL, and Doug E Fresh were great.
Doug E Fresh and Drew Hill were the best performers featured. Jodeci was horrible! They were the main headliner, and the public was very disappointed. If I could do it over, I would have attended the free concert at Legion Field, I think I would have enjoyed it more.
