Everybody starts off their music listening careers with top 40 music. When I was in the fifth grade, I bought Now That’s What I Call Music!, the very first in a series of chart topping collections that has gone on way too long and makes me shudder if I think about too much. Track six on that CD? “All My Life” by K-Ci & JoJo. I still know most of the words; the things you have when you know nothing else when you’re ten tend to stick around a while. Flash forward fifteen years.

K-Ci & JoJo have released their new single, “Knock It Off” today. It’s their first output since 2002’s Emotional. Love it or hate it, I had to check it out if only for nostalgia. Is the duo past their prime and just trying to get some buzz off who they were, or is the song actually good? Hear the song here by clicking “Read more” and tell us your thoughts in the comments.

I finished school with a music theory degree. Before I finished school, I was a janitor. You really should apologize to all the janitors you've ever had. You hurt them. Seriously. You did.

But, now that we've cleared that up and you called your high school janitor, know that I quit being a janitor to pursue writing about music. So here I am, and here you are, and hey how are you?
