Static Major Is Music

Another exclusive from Da Bassment Cassette tape. Classic Sugah.

One of my favorites from the tape. Wish I had the full version of this song!

Another exclusive from Da Bassment Cassette tape. Classic Ginuwine.

Timbaland - This Ain't Nothin' But A B-Party by StaticMajorIsMusic Here is a rather interesting song by Timbaland... Hey, we did say that we were going to post everything on this cassette lol

I'm sure you guys already know who Stevie J is. He's produced hits for many artists and he's giving us an opportunity to interview him soon. What connection does he have with Static? Well they were all part of Da Bassment together, though it should be noted that Steve was technically Dalvin's artist. Nevertheless though, they spent time together and it'll definitely be cool to hear what he has to say about Static. Let me know if you guys have questions.

It's time for another Bassment gem. Enjoy a young Missy doing her thing on the track! and check out http://missylist.blogspot.com/ for more info about this song. Missy reused this song and gave it to the R&B group The Truth! a couple of years later.

EDIT: The song is actually called "Come On Girl". Thank you to Smokey for pointing that out. Here is a snippet (get used to that word because most of the cassette contains snippets Lol) of the song "Come On Girl" by Playa. The song was produced by Darryl Pearson. Da Bassment - Sexual Healing by StaticMajorIsMusic Static absolutely destroys the track! Even though Static is great at switching up his style from track to track, at times I wished he just sang songs like this all the time because his voice was truly special. You can also hear Smokey singing on the second verse before the song fades out and Black is doing adlibs on the whole song.

Here is an early version of "Get Back" by Jodeci. K-Ci shows impeccable vocals at the beginning of this song. Classic Jodeci. On a side note: We're looking to interview any of the members of Jodeci. So if anybody has any info on where to find them, please let us know!

This song is one of biggest mysteries to many Bassment fans. Fans have been wondering who produced this song and who was singing on the track for years. On the CD, the artist (whoever it is) is only credited as "Da Bassment". Luckily, Tweet has helped shed the light on the song. So from listening to this version, I'm going to say it is LB on the first verse. However he probably used Ginuwine's version as a reference because he does a lot of the same things G does when he sings. As I gather all the information that has been given to me throughout the years: This version of the song is performed by LB, Devante, Sugah. Produced by Devante and arranged by Playa. If anyone has any more information about the song, we would love to hear it.

Here is a Ginuwine song from Da Bassment era. You can probably tell by the vocoder in the background that Devante Swing had something to do with this song. And he did as this song is produced by Devante and Darryl Pearson. You may also notice that part of the chorus is an interpolation of the Keith Sweat song "Right and Wrong Way". Also check out Ginuwine's new single "What Could've Been" off his new album "Elgin". Be on the lookout for it.

Here is a rare exclusive for everyone. We've all heard Bassment material by Playa, Missy (Sista), Ginuwine, Timbalad & Magoo but we've never heard anything from Sugah. So today we present to you "Sugar and Spice" which was produced by Timbaland and written by Missy Elliott. Some of the Aaliyah fans may recognize this title because Jomo Hankerson spoke about the song in an article back in the day: "In the process of recording One in a Million, we got a demo from Timbaland and Missy. The song was called “Sugar and Spice,” which felt a little too kiddie to us, but the structure of the record, the melody, had what became Tim’s signature triplebeat on it. We were overwhelmed, and we sent it to Aaliyah. She called us back like, The track is crazy, this is the best thing I’ve ever heard. So we flew Timbaland and Missy into Detroit to work with her." So is this the same song? You betcha it is. So we've let you guys into Sugah's world and we've ...

Here is one of many Bassment songs we will be sharing with you from the cassette. We're going to start it out with a rap joint by Missy, Timbaland and Magoo. I think it's amazing how polished all of them were already even though they didn't release any CDs yet.

Here's a short interview with K-Ci & JoJo. They talk about Da Bassment for a short bit here.

Tony Thompson fromt the 90's group Hi-Five released his solo album in 95 entitled "Sexational". Once again, DeVante produced a track called "Slave" with the help of some Bassment members: Darryl Pearson is co-producer, Missy Elliott worked on the track too, but there's some others guest on the track, just look at the credit: Do you notice something special ??? Background vocals by Steve Jawan , that means Static for Steve & Smokey for Jawan, both of them are on the background vocals with Missy. DeVante at the end of the song has a talking part, again, he says Static name, did i told you Static was his fav artist out of the Bassment Crew???

Legendary Al Green released "Your Heart In Good Hands" album in 95. For DeVante who produced the song "Could This Be The Love", it was an honor, and what did he do??? He introduced again his fav Da Bassment artist: Playa ! They're on the hook & on the bridge with incredible vocals, Smokey is the one we can hear the most, Renee Anderson from Da Bassment is on the end of the track too. It's great to see a legend like Al Green putting his trust in the younger generation, props to DeVante for doin a song that fits perfectly with the old school style & the newest style that Playa brings. And here's a Live performance for y'all (just skip the 35 sec ad at the beginning of the video): P.S: Maybe soon i can come with an extra for this post, stay tune. Update: Thx to my man Stingy Boy for providing the instrumental, enjoy!

Peep Tha Interview, This Is One Good Hearted Brutha !!! Big thank you to Shannon for taking time out of his busy schedule to conduct this intervie...

Once again, let's just start from the begining! Jodeci days, & you know DeVante likes to put his protege in the spolight, in videos cameo or in Jodeci songs. This time let's talk about that 95 album "The Show, The After-Party, The Hotel" In this album, you got the best out of the Bassment crew: Timbaland, Missy, Stevie J. & Playa. Just remember on a smokey interview, he said that sometimes DeVante woke up one of them to come & record vocals instead of K-Ci or JoJo, & no matter what time of the night (or early in the morning) they had to do it, no second chance for the lazy boys. So here's Playa doin some background in the song Can We Flo? . We can hear some Playa harmonies in the hook behind JoJo's lead vocals, & on the bridge at the end, the "ooooh" is done by Playa, & again DeVante shout out Static "Yo Static get my fur out of the closet G", thats' what i'm talkin about, DeVante was about to do it big with ...

So on this track, we have Timbaland, Magoo, Static, Smokey and Black all on one track. For the people that don't know, this was going to be the first single off the Bassment compilation that Devante was going to put out. This material has never been on the internet...until now, all thanks to my man Neeze. A lot of you may recognize the hook because they reused the hook for the song "Smoke In Da Air" off Timbaland & Magoo's first album "Welcome To Our World". Exclusive song is provided by Neeze, courtesy of Swatt Music

Oh yeah, this time i'm not kidding, True O.G music now from the Da Bassment days! I remember back in 95, when i put my hand on the Dangerous Mind Soundtrack, i was surprised to see & solo song from Dalvin & another one from DeVante, but i was wondering who was Static ??? I heard his name before, & i've seen this name when Jodeci gave some shout outs, but Jodeci never really had some guest in their album, except people from their camp, so seing Static featuring on both song with Dalvin & DeVante meaned to me that this man was dope! So here's that "True O.G" song, you now know that O.G Music from Static is my preferate side of him, well, he's killing it in this one, his rap is so smooth, it's a thin line between rap & sing and Static walk right on that line. P.S: as you can see, we got some spanish addicted to Static music :)
