Jones’ nickname at this time was «Romeo». The group released four albums under the name Immature: On Our Worst Behavior (1992), Playtyme Is Over (1994), We Got It (1995) and The Journey (1997). In 1999, the group underwent a name change and continued on to release two albums under the name IMx: Introducing IMx (1999) and IMx (2001). The group also branched out into film (such as House Party 4: Down to the Last Minute) and television (such as A Different World) before disbanding in 2002.
In 2004, Jones began pursuing a solo career. Under the name Young Rome, he released his debut album on June 24, 2004 entitled Food for Thought. The album featured the singles «After Party» (featuring former B2K member Omarion) and «Freaky» (featuring rapper Guerilla Black).
In 2005, Jones continued to work with former bandmate Marques Houston. He made a guest appearance on Houston’s album Naked (2005) in a song entitled «All Because of You». Jones had also began work on a project tentatively titled, Round 1, which was set to see a release in 2006.
