Static Major Is Music

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'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!

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 ...

Here is a joint that Static/Devante did back in 2005 in LA. Do you recognize the sample? Of course you do! It was the intro on Ginuwine's "100% Ginuwine" album. Now it has to be asked, did Devante do this on purpose or was it a coincidence? And a better question, who do you think flipped the sample better: Timbaland or Devante? And for the sample heads out there, the song samples the Mcguyver theme

A throwback track for everyone. The video threw me off the first time I saw it. Boogeyman's caught me off guard, lol. Interesting to see Black rapping as well. And here is live footage of Smokey and Black performing at the K-Ci concert a couple of days ago. All My Life Love U 4 Life Cheers 2 U

Here is part of the episode where people discuss the whole Bassment project, with appearances by Static, Ginuwine, Timbaland, Magoo, along with others. And while we're talking about Da Bassment, let's take a look at Static's first music appearance, on the remix of the Sista track "Brand New". Sista "Brand Nu" (Mr Dalvin Remix) Here is the song in CDQ for all the people that don't have it...
