theJasmineBRAND.com exclusively reports, music producer Jazze Pha (real name Phalon Alexander) has made hits for everyone from Usher, Missy Elliot, Mary J.

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.
The producer has composed hits for Nate Dogg, T.I. Young Joc, Young Jeezy, Toni Braxton, Lil Jon, Ludacris and many others over the years, but unfortunately, those royalty checks don’t cover the debt that he’s accumulated. The bankruptcy is still pending in Federal Court.
