I've posted some information on the blog exclusive joint "Crazy" by Aura already, but I figured it would make more sense if we heard it straight from her, because she was actually there. So here is the very talented Aura talking about the history of the track: I was signed to Atlantic at the time. Gee Roberson was my A&R and he manages Kanye. Kanye came to the studio and had forgotten his records, but I'm an avid Joni Mitchell fan and had some of her records there. It was like magic watching Kanye work. He crafted that beat like it was a priceless sculpture. When it started to come together Gee, who managed Static at that time too said "What do you think about Static co-writing with you?" Well, I was ecstatic, pun fully intended. Within an hour or so, Static came over. I was fully aware and familiar with his work with Playa, Aaliyah, Genuine and he had also written my girl Truth Hurts super sick single "Addicted", so I was excited. He came in...
This a wonderful tribute to Baby Girl...Playa brings the emotions/vocals/ n harmonies. One of my favz off the mixtape
ReplyDeleteluv this song so much
ReplyDeleteR.I.P. Babygirl. I've had this record in the archives since a couple months after she passed. I really wanted to share it with all of you because quite honestly not a lot of people heard it! The recording of it was a very emotional time! I remember like it was yesterday. We recorded it in Statics studio in his basement!
ReplyDeleteDamn Neeze that's heavy..I don't thnk i could've sat through that session and I never even laid eyes on her,, I couldn't imagine knowing her and bein n the studio for this one. RIP dynamic duo (stats and babygirl). such a shame.....
