Montell Jordan

Besides crafting his own material, Jordan has written and produced for a number of outside artists, including 98 Degrees, Deborah Cox ("Nobody's Supposed to Be Here", 1998), and Sisqó (the #1 hit "Incomplete", 2000). He might record under his own name, or work further on publishing written prose. Jordan left Def Soul in 2003 and released the album Life After Def on Koch Records. Little is know of what Jean Leclerc will do, now that his Leloup persona has been "silenced". Future hits would include "Let's Ride" with Master P in 1998 and "Get It on Tonite" in 1999. This was, in fact, another piece of elaborate fantasy staging, typical of the wild and eccentric artist. "The 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. At the end of 2003, Leloup "died" or, rather, Jean Leclerc retired the name.

Jordan's first single was the 1995 #1 hit single "This Is How We Do It", and defined his hip hop soul musical style. Leloup is the recipient of a Felix Award, the Quebec version of a Grammy Award. Jordan was the first R&B artist signed to the Def Jam label, and became the main male artist on its Def Soul imprint until leaving the label in 2003.
