Rodriquez Jacquees Broadnax[2] (born April 15, 1994), known mononymously as Jacquees (/dʒɑːˈkwis/ jah-KWEESS),[3] is an American R&B singer from Decatur, Georgia. He signed with Birdman's Cash Money Records in 2014,[4] and first gained recognition with his 2016 single, "B.E.D."; the song peaked at number 69 on the Billboard Hot 100 and received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[5]

His 2018 single, "You", saw further success on the Billboard Hot 100 and received double platinum certification; both the song and "B.E.D." preceded his debut studio album, 4275 (2018), which moderately entered the Billboard 200. His second album, King of R&B (2019), peaked at number 20 on the chart. His third album Sincerely For You (2022), failed to attain success on the chart, peaking at number 163.

Career

In 2007, Jacquees met his first manager, Corey Battle. He performed in a variety of talent shows before he met and switched management to Russell "Block" Spencer, who was CEO and founder of Block Entertainment. Jacquees worked in various recording studios as part of a production team. Block's focus was only rap music, not R&B. Jacquees later began working closely at Block's recording studio, gaining exposure with the track, "Krazy", featuring Atlanta rapper T.I.[6]

On March 25, 2014, Jacquees independently released his second EP, 19, which debuted at number 15 on the US Billboard Top R&B Albums.[7] The 11-track EP features guest appearances from Chris Brown, Rich Homie Quan, Lloyd, and Trinidad James.[8] On October 1, 2014, Jacquees announced that he had signed a recording deal with Cash Money Records.[9] In May 2016, he collaborated with label-mate Birdman on an EP titled Lost at Sea.[10] He found mainstream success with his 2016 single "B.E.D.", charting at number 69 on the Billboard Hot 100.[5] The song served as the lead single for his first studio album 4275, released in 2018. The project was certified Gold by the RIAA.

In November 2019, he released his second studio album King of R&B.[11] The album debuted at number 20 on the Billboard 200.[12] Pitchfork stated that Jacquees appeared "well-rounded" on the album, and his vocals paired well with his collaborators.[13] Jacquees embarked on the King of R&B Tour in early 2020 in support of the album.[14]

In 2022, the singer released his third studio album Sincerely For You, that peaked at number 163 on the Billboard 200. The project was followed by Baby Making (2024), Jacquees’ fourth studio album.
