Just as
Immature eventually morphed into
IMx,
Jerome "Romeo" Jones officially became
Young Rome, and set to securing a piece of pop-rap real estate. In spring 2004, coming off a supporting role in the
B2K dance vehicle You Got Served,
Rome dropped the single "After Party," which featured an introduction from his
B2K pal
Omarion. "Welcome to my after party/Hope that you're feeling naughty" -- with its chattering beats and blatant sentiment, the cut was hedonistic fluff in a direct line from the
Cassidy/
R. Kelly collaboration "Hotel" and
Chingy's "Holidae In." The full-length
Food for Thought was slated by Universal for a June release. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide
