Still Ghetto is the second studio album by American R&B singer Jaheim. It was released by Divine Mill Records and Warner Bros. Records on November 5, 2002, in the United States. Released to favorable reviews, it debuted at number eight on the US Billboard 200 and number three on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, with first-week sales of 111,000 copies,[1] eventually reaching platinum for selling a million domestic copies.
The album spawned the hit single "Fabulous" featuring Tha' Rayne as well as the single "Put That Woman First" which entered the top 20 of the US Billboard Hot 100, reaching number 20. The track, "Everywhere I Am" is dedicated to the memory of the singer's parents, who died before he rose to fame.
AllMusic editor John Bush found that "Jaheim's considerable vocal talents only increased during the recording of his second album, and a stronger set of songs made Still Ghetto a definite improvement over the debut [...] For "Everywhere I Am," Jaheim recorded a postcard to his mother, who died before he gained fame; it's another testament to his power as an artist that Still Ghetto never descends into maudlin sentiments. Just like his soul forefathers, everything about Jaheim is honest and heartfelt."
