Cheri Amour

Hit the ground running on my first official day back on my job in the USA. One of the important orders of business was to stop by the Cheri Dennis video shoot for the song I produced and co-wrote with Corey “Latif” Williams, called “I Love U”. After a few minutes at the door (explaining my reason for showing up in the first place), I was able to congratulate Cheri on this milestone in her career. I am very glad to play a role in introducing her to the world. This clip illustrates her contagious excitement:

I’ll spend the rest of the week overseeing a casting call for Cassie’s dancers (she has a show May 3rd), mixing a record with Pat Viala for Def Jam artist Megan Rochell, planning for my tour to the UK in May, working with Sean Collins on organizing and reviewing our music submissions, and tightening up Cassie’s records for the A&R meeting on Tuesday. Though the 4 D’s can truly make sleep scarce, I embrace with pride the responsibilities of a young entrepreneur.

  20. DJ MR WHYTE:

    Been playing “I LOVE U” in the UK for a few months now, trying to create that buzz because it is a big track, but people over here are a bit slow. Man you are talented Ryan, gonna be looking out for your stuff forever. See you when you come over to London.

  21. J. Powers:

    I should of known you had part of making this song……..For weeks I was asking people who was the artist and who produced the song ”I Love U”…. I kept hearing this track on the radio but had no idea who it was until now.

  22. ezra murembeni:

  23. dj:

    yo you did your thing on that record i luv it. cheri your hot, stay hot luved you since “so complete” peace

  24. Undergodz ENT:

    That song is a triumph.

    “I love you” was bubbling under for sooooo long.

    I first heard it on pjbutta like a year ago!!

    The arrangement, the simplicity of the instrumentation…

    (and i of course like seeing bad boy get any type of break)

    I hope to one day soon feel what it’s like to have hits of my own (our own - U.G.E. )

  25. Markeem Jones:
