Multi-instrumentalist, producer and 网曝吃瓜 (KSU) graduate Tadric Jermaine鈥檚 鈥淢MIII鈥� (2003) has moved up on Billboard鈥檚 Traditional Jazz Albums chart to No. 9.

The album is described as 鈥淩&B infused with hip-hop sounds, mellowed-out instrumentation, mixed with the ingenious dreams of multi-instrumentalist Tadric Jermaine.鈥�
鈥淚 play a lot of different instruments, so my sound is more live-instrument-heavy,鈥� Jermaine said.
