He sang back up. Pretty much anyone could go into a group and sing strictly back up. I am sure he was in the group more so for his producing skills.

Yea if you know your history on Jodeci. Devante wasn't there to sing, but write and producing.

LOL. He was never really a singer. That's why he never did lead and stayed in the background as a decoration with Dalvin. Devante was the brain of the group. He was the reason Jodeci never needed to go outside of the group for a Babyface, Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis or Teddy Riley etc. to get them a hit/sales.

Look at how he crafted a typical harmony with K-Ci alone for My Heart Belongs To You:

Dude was a talented, producer, songwriter, arranger. He was the one that first put together Jodeci's harmony (as far as being technical on the boards). Dude was a beast, until we all know what happened.

Cocain is a helluva drug.

I think anyone not retarded realized Devante was the music and manager guy as opposed to singer guy.
