My wife was the one who was speaking to the doctors. Our faith is strong, and we knew we would get through it. My family and the few people who knew what I was going through kept me in their prayers. The stroke and my recovery changed my entire lifestyle. Mentally, I was more focused on myself and getting better at exercising regularly, physical therapy and changing my diet.
Fishing is my passion. I call it my meditation. I started fishing again and just really taking care of myself. First and foremost, it brought us closer to God. It made our relationship stronger and closer. We are now inseparable. She is always by my side to be my support system. A strong faith in God can remove fear and doubt. My faith was restored as a God-fearing man. I learned that I am resilient and have grown to be more independent.
What therapy did you undergo for the stroke, and how long did it take for you to achieve full recovery from this illness? My road to recovery was not a short one. I had speech, physical and occupational therapy twice a day, three times a week.
I also had to do follow-ups with my doctors. I was seeing two physical therapists, a speech therapist and a neurologist, working on my recovery every day. That meant no drinking, no smoking and no stress. Please describe what you experienced when you regained your ability to sing, and then later, when you were able to walk again, after having a stroke.

K-Ci and JoJo splintered off as a duo in , producing hit single "All My Life" and, eventually, five albums, but adoring fans never let go of their Jodeci obsession. And some 20 years after their vanishing, artists from Raheem DeVaughn to Justin Bieber continue to express a deep admiration. Drake's tapped old Jodeci songs for samples on more than one occasion. To celebrate its release, we talked about why Jodeci was put on pause all those years ago, and why it's finally time to start again.
You see a guy with his pants hanging down, he's got a skully, and you scared cause he's black. People have a lifestyle with culture. Jodeci, as many records as we've sold, we've never been invited to the Grammys. Is it because we're too black or what? We stay true to ourselves. We stuck by our guns. Did y'all encounter resistance like that? K-CI: We never got that because we came into the game with the soulful, black or whatever you wanna call it [sound].
It's a shame man. I'm not racist but how can you say a white singer is being labeled as the most soulful singer out right now? You know who I'm talking about, right?
The man who did something with Mary [J. Do all the current Jodeci references reach you? He had a concert, and that was the announcement. Him singing "So you're having my baby," was him telling the world that Kim was pregnant. K-CI: A rapper singing to his lady on stage, supposed to be all hardcore and he's singing Jodeci!
Everyone can relate to it. It's cool. Jodeci's history and legacy is cemented. So what does it mean for you to be coming out with music right now? A lot of artists, I find, they just release music, release music until they get the right one, the right single. It gets oversaturated, people are tired of you. We don't just put songs out to put songs out, we don't just make albums just to make albums. Take your time, that's what we do. Methodically sit down. We got bodies of work that will mean something.
Do we call this a reunion? No, because we never broke up. That was the misconception people had. Jodeci never broke up.
We just stopped putting out records. We went through a transitional period where the business changed, music changed, and we just stepped back. I'm a little younger. So for me, I remember there was Jodeci, and then there wasn't. Everything was rap, rap, rap. We just left it at that. But we stayed relevant because every artist, anybody from Usher to Justin Bieber was saying 'Jodeci this' and 'Jodeci that.
