    He's takented, but genius is a bit of a stretch lol. "Freakin you" and "Feenin" were mediocre at best. Their first album however was brilliantly arranged and produced.

      You CLEARLY don't know music... The fact that Devante played ALL the instruments & the non-traditional way in which he arranged the 4 part harmonies were insane, period.

    What kind of "genius" falls off after like 4 years? I don't deny his talent, but I do think he's overrated by his takeruppers. And he certainly wasn't as good as he believed he was. Maybe a little humility would have benefitted his career in the long-run.

      The man skull was cracked open when the robbery happened. Also he went underground because of the Tupac and Biggie murders and dealing with raising and protecting his family and dealing with some personal issues of his own.

      There wasn't no fruit loops back then. But and he was doing many different groups and artists as well. Sometimes something might take a couple of hours. Sometimes it might take a week times it might take months christy , depas on what's coming to you. You gotta understand real music first Not the stuff they have had for the last 24 years
