     Rodney started 2004 off with rave reviews for his Gospel hit "You Don't
 Know" performed by daughter of the legendary Clark Sister Kierra Sheard, which
 crossed over into the Pop R&B market with great impact.  At the close of 2004,

 Cutting Edge Hit song "Lose My Breath," despite all the nay-sayers of a
 Destiny's Child come-back.  He and his team also wrote and produced "Don't
 Talk About It, Be About It," and "Cater 2 U" (which Rodney and one of his
 Darkchild songwriters/producers Rick Lewis are currently co-nominees), for
 their Multi-Platinum Destiny Fulfilled album.
