Former Death Row Records singer/songwriter Jewell has sung the choruses to several Death Row classic records during the early-to-mid 90ﾒs, including some of their biggest hits, and was known as “The First Lady of Death Row Recordsﾔ.
Signed to Death Row Records as their first original artist from 1992-1996, Jewell more than held her own among the other inmates of Death Row by blending her smooth, talented vocal abilities with the G-funk-infused gangsta productions to Death Row albums like “The Chronic”, ﾓDoggystyleﾔ, “Dogg Food”, “All Eyes On Me” , ﾓAbove The Rimﾔ and “Murder Was The Case” , where she also had a Billboard Hot 100 charting hit with “Woman to Womanﾔ.
On Monday, November 21, 2011, WIDEawake/Death Row Records will release the album “Jewell”. The never-before-released tracks from the Death Row vault showcase the artistﾒs undeniable talent and edge, while digging into her Gospel roots.
