Kamikaze is Twista's fourth studio album and his first to be certified Platinum by the RIAA. The album was produced by an A-list group of producers including Kanye West, Jazze Pha, The Legendary Traxter and Red Spyda with features from Too $hort, 8 Ball, Kanye West, Jamie Foxx, T.I., Cee-lo Green, Anthony Hamilton, R. Kelly and Memphis Bleek.
"Slow Jamz," the first single from Kamikaze was released in early December of 2003 and was produced by and featured Kanye West and Jamie Foxx. The single, with its chop of Luther Vandross' "A House Is Not A Home", pays homage to the great ballads and balladeers of yesteryear. "Slow Jamz" reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The momentum of "Slow Jamz" was perfect promotion for Kamikaze, which arrived a month later.
