(Burbank, CA) - R&B is filled with strong, passionate artists that challenged the status quo to bring more diverse, individual sounds to their genre. One of these successes is the New Jack Swing, innovated by mega-star, Keith Sweat. His soulful sounds have blown up radio stations since the 1980�s, and landed high on the Billboard 200 as well as #2 on the R&B charts with �Make It Last Forever.�

The Harlem-born R&B singer, and the CEO of Untouchable J Productions, JoJo Ryder, have entered into a strategic partnership to create content for television that includes a documentary featuring never-before-seen footage of Keith�s career from the 80�s and 90�s to present day. TM Mann Entertainment saw the formidable charge these two could bring, and brought them together.

�I feel really good about how my company and UJP are working together,� Sweat said today. �I am aware of JoJo�s success, and his understanding of the demographic of the 18-34 age group. I can�t wait for everyone to see the content that we create, baby.�
