All I Feel represents the fourth studio project from American vocalist Ray J. Released on April 8, 2008, this album was distributed through his own imprint Knockout Entertainment in collaboration with Deja34 Records, Epic Records, and Koch Records. It stands as Ray J's sole album released under Koch and his second project to include a Parental Advisory warning. The record includes the singles "Sexy Can I" featuring fellow label artist Yung Berg, along with "Gifts".
Conception
As reported by the Los Angeles Times, Ray J intended to move away from the child actor persona associated with the sitcom Moesha, which featured his sister Brandy. The lyrical content of the album is notably more explicit and sexually charged, signifying a deliberate pivot toward a mature R&B audience.
Critical reception
All I Feel was met with predominantly unfavorable critiques. Steve Jones of USA Today awarded it one-and-a-half stars out of five, remarking that despite Ray J's efforts, the album "fails to make a lasting impact." Jason Reynolds from Okayplayer condemned its overt sexual and drug-related themes as crude and contrived. Clover Hope of Billboard perceived the album as an overzealous attempt by Ray J to assert maturity, labeling him "a wannabe rapper disguised as a singer." Conversely, Jim Allen from AllMusic commended the album for highlighting Ray J's artistic development and his competent performance across modern R&B genres.
Commercial performance
Upon release, the album entered the US Billboard 200 chart at its peak position of number 7, selling 39,000 copies in its first week. This achievement marked Ray J's inaugural top ten appearance and his highest charting effort since This Ain't a Game (2001). Additionally, All I Feel debuted at number one on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart, becoming his second album to reach the top ten and his first to claim the number one position.
