The term “recognition” is defined as identification of something already known or acknowledgement of something as valid.
Jerrod Rankin (J-Rod), one-half of the super R&B duo “RecognitioN” from Magee, Miss., says that’s what they’re trying to gain.
J-Rod and Rico Sivad (Rico Davis), were signed to Capitol Records this past summer.
It marked the beginning to getting even more recognition; something they’d been striving for since the age of 13.
“Life is a journey and I can’t write about anything I’ve never experienced.” J-rod said.
“I love to be challenged, it brings the best out of me,” he added.
RecogntioN found their inspiration by many R&B greats like Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye and the Temptations.
They have served as the opening act for artists such as KC and JoJo, Keyshia Cole, Usher and Lil-Wayne, just to name a few.
So what’s next for RecognitioN?
Their name is now solidified in the music industry.
Their new single “Scratches” is set to debut on BET and MTV Jams really soon.
