West performed a freestyle rap which impressed Foxx, and later invited him to his recording studio to record 'Slow Jamz'.

While hosting a party which included Sean Combs, Missy Elliott, the Neptunes, and Jay-Z, Jamie Foxx first encountered Kanye West, who was recovering from a car crash which shattered his jaw.

Upon release, 'Slow Jamz' peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, which was the first number one song for Twista, West, and Foxx. The song's lyrics reference slow jam artists and describes the role of lovermen.

The song was written by Twista, Burt Bacharach, Hal David, and the producer West.
