Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins

GRAMMY Award winning super producer Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins is an actual urban legend, in the flesh. Tireless in his work ethic, the prolific young Jerkins quickly established himself as a formidable musical force, with a trail of outstanding accomplishments writing his indelible page in music history. Known as a dynamic music master, Jerkins' undeniable magic touch infuses his productions with a one‐of‐a‐kind, unmistakable winning sound. His utilization of live instruments and his trained ear consistently produce tracks that are imbued with "that certain something." The Darkchild instinctively knows how to showcase the best attributes of each artist that he works with. CEO of his Darkchild Productions, Inc., Jerkins has been responsible, through his numerous hit productions, for over 170 million in record sales worldwide.

In the year 1998, Jerkins scored his first US Billboard Hot 100 #1 with "The Boy Is Mine" and the sound of music would never be the same again. Following the success of "The Boy Is Mine", Jerkins continued to raise the musical bar as he set a new standard, creating his own unique niche in music working with hundreds of artists. 

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Jerkins scored 5 Top 3 Billboard hits (not including Destiny Child's "Lose My Breath") which included:

Her discography isn’t to be messed with, I 100% agree! “The Heat” is one of the greatest contemporary r&b albums of all time imo. Truly chef’s kiss.

Really? I’ve heard great reviews about it, but I didn’t play it in full. I’m waiting for THAT special-me-time for it in order to be completely drawn in its world. I tried to purchase the vinyl from Amazon, but with no luck unfortunately…

Honestly its between "If you had my love" and "He wasn't man enough for me"  I still listen to those. That boy is mine and say my name too but just not as much

The way all those video thumbnails feature the singers singing directly into the camera.  The later 1990s/early 2000s weren't exactly original were they.

I pick Say My Name only because I at least remember the chorus.

What are the thumbnails supposed to include? A picture of the wall? A picture of a singer “not” singing?  It’s literally a thumbnail that’s been authorized by VEVO in the 2020s… ironic enough, music critics and journalists seem to rave about how the later 90s/early 2000s was the last original era of pop music before everything went full-on autotune and then minimalistic. Like… are you aware of the pop music of today?
