If you don’t know, Jazze has made hits for everyone from?Usher, Toni Braxton, Ciara, Missy Elliot, Mary J. Blige, Lil Wayne, Rocko… (the list goes on & ?on) but apparently his royalty checks aren?t covering his expenses.

Jazze spends over $2,600 every month for his home, $1,400 on tax escrow, $650 on entertainment costs, $600 on food and various other expenses for a total of $7,741 in monthly bills,?which deducted from his monthly income leaves him with a total of $6,259 a month.
