Music: Aura - Crazy (feat. Kanye West and Clipse) (UPDATED WITH FULL SONG)

Once Playa decided to go their separated ways, we soon saw Digital Black and Smoke E. Digglera release their debut albums. As time went by, they went to work on their second albums and released them a short while later. The only member of Playa that has yet to have their album released is Static. You may wonder to yourself, "why?". It is well documented that Static wanted "Suppertime" to be the perfect album so he reworked his album many times until he was satisfied with it.

A few years ago, a tracklisting of Suppertime leaked onto the internet and although it doesn't have a lot of the songs that are confirmed for the album ("I Got My", "Coffee In Da Morning", "4 a Long Time"), there are some interesting bits to it.

Static Major - Suppertime On Da Feddy Side
1. 9 to 5
2. At The Bar
3. Crazy Feat. Kanye West
4. Souljah
5. Until The Wheelz Fall Off
6. Sick & Tired Feat. Kanye West
7. Get Together Feat. Timbaland
8. Dirty Mind
9. Here Is My Number Feat. Lil Flip
10. Hummers & Escalades
11. Guest List Feat. Jazze Pha
12. My Playground
13. Suppertime
14. U Must Know Feat. Pretty Ricky
15. The Weekend
16. She Ain't So Bad Feat. Timbaland
17. Lova

Songs that you may recognize on that list, as they have all leaked onto the internet are "9 to 5" featuring Native, "Until The Wheels Fall Off", "Dirty Mind", "Here Is My Number" featuring Lil Flip and Playa, "My Playground", and "The Weekend" featuring Lil Flip and Playa. Huge Timbaland/Playa fans may also notice the never heard, but confirmed track "She Ain't So Bad".

Though that is cool and and all, the song we're going to be paying attention to is track #3, which is "Crazy" featuring Kanye West. Huge fans of Kanye may remember a song with the same title on his "Second Semester" mixtape. Is it the same song? You betcha it is. From the arrangements to the adlibs, you can tell this was a Static track.



Unfortunately, the full version of this song by Aura has never leaked onto the internet. Will we ever hear it? Who knows. And what about Static's version? That remains to be seen as well.

Big shout out to my boy Zo for the info.

EDIT #1: "Aura went back into the studio with Static (from the group Playa) and created the aforementioned Crazy, a song everybody agreed was the one to go with. Unfortunately Joni Mitchell wouldn't grant clearance for the sample (protesting against the war by refusing to support the American economy). And that was that."

EDIT #2: And if you need more proof:

EDIT #3: According to Tim Barnett, the track was made for Aura. So I guess that whole tracklist is fake, lol. They did the track back in 2002, in LA.

EDIT #4: This was my very first post on the blog and it only makes sense to start out the new year with something special. Neeze has decided to share this very rare track with us. I'm sure this will make a lot of Kanye fans, Clipse fans, Aura fans, and of course Static fans very happy.




I should probably also note that Kanye retouched the track after. The vocal sample sounds a bit different on it than the snippet and Kanye says "Joni Mitchell never lie" instead of "my homey Aura never lie". Rest assure though, I'm on the hunt for the final version of the track.

Tipsy (3:23) I've heard back in 2005 somebody talk about that "Suppertime Mixtape", but i found it in 2008, & unfortunaly, the mixtape was just available in mp3 format. Released with no real promotion (but Louisville resident as i know, had this mixtape for a while), i guess lot of us didn't know about it until lately. This is for the hood lovers, got Lil Flip on it, Young Sears productions, it's OG Music here! We also got Playa songs on it. I guess Static wanted to give us just a taste of what Suppertime could be, the "Vol. 1" meaned it had to has other volume coming, but for this one like i said, it's OG Music except the last track... Edit: You can listen & buy the mixtape here U

Music: Static Major - Questions (Aaliyah's Demo) (UPDATE WITH FULL SONG)

As we all know, Static & Aaliyah were close, you can feel the chemistry between the writer and the singer, and Static most impressive talent was his ability to write for a woman, to express a woman's feeling. So there's the song "Questions" produced by Buddha, wrote & sung by Static, a demo song for Aaliyah, made around 2000-2001 i think. I don't know yet if she had the chance to record it for herself, but Static version shows his falsetto skills, he wrote for a woman, & even sing the demo like Aaliyah should sing it, amazing! Stay tune for a snippet listening, something rare that i'm sure you don't wanna miss! UPDATE: Here is the first installment of Static Music Monday.

Album: Playa - Throwback Legendz

I'm sure a lot of you have already heard most, if not all, of the album. Smokey has been selling it on his website and I've also been uploading the songs on Youtube. So instead of choosing one of those two options, we've decided to let everyone download this unreleased classic album for free. And I bet a lot of you could probably care less because you've heard every song already right? Wrong. Check out the final version of "Hollywood" that was not included in Smokey's unreleased Playa compilation. So consider this an exclusive courtesy of www.staticmajorismusic.com Big shout-out to Farid for hooking me up with this track and also the entire album in CDQ. http://www.4shared.com/file/H5qAKnAu/Playa_-Throwback_Legendz__2002.html
