Jazze Pha says Ciara ain't listening, talks new ventures in 2010

Jazze Pha is one of ATL's most well-known and prolific producers, having worked with everyone from Nelly and Ludacris to T.I. and Mariah Carey. But he is also closely associated with "Goodies" singer Ciara, having produced two of her biggest records, "1,2 Step" and "Get Up." After Ciara's 2009 album "Fantasy Ride" flopped, reports surfaced from former colleagues accusing Ciara of having "changed." And in an interview with Jazze Pha, the producer confirmed that he and Ciara no longer see eye to eye.

"I don’t know what’s going on with her. She’s not really listening," said Jazze Pha. "We always gon' be friends but she gon' listen to what she wants to listen to. It’s a weird situation."

Though he was tight-lipped in his interview, Jazze's differences with Cici were more specific on Twitter.

As Jay-Z says, it's on to the next one. The producer is keeping busy with projects in both music and television on deck for 2010. He is one of the big guns working on T.I.'s new album. The rapper, who was recently released from prison, is staying in a halfway house and is only allowed to come out for work, said Jazze. Fans of the ATL rapper can expect more of what they've come to love about him.

"He already has a sound carved out. We're just gonna hit 'em with the best of him," said Jazze.

Jazze is also putting in work in the studio with R&B singer Bobby V, producing new material for his next album. The duo have selected what they hope to be the second single and are now in search of that undeniable first single, said Jazze.
