Jewell was signed to Death Row Records from 1992 to 1996.[citation needed] In 1994, she covered Shirley Brown's song "Woman to Woman" which reached 72nd on the Billboard Hot 100[citation needed], and peaked at #16 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs list.[3] She also released "Love or Lust," featured in Bill Duke's film, Deep Cover (mis-credited in movie end-credits as “Jewel”).[4] and is featured on two songs on the 1994 Above the Rim soundtrack.[5]

She has referred to herself and has been called "The First Lady of Death Row Records".[6][7]

In 2011, Jewell co-authored and self-published a memoir authored with Felicia St. Jean titled My Blood My Sweat My Tears,[8] notably encouraging rumors of Dr. Dre's homosexuality and of people involved with Tupac Shakur's murder.[9]
