{haven't done one of these in a while - this was partially inspired by my homies Nigel (for challenging me to look the credits up) & Brandon (for reminding me I haven't done a career mix in a long time}
For music collectors out there...
I'd like to welcome yall to our newest download pack,
The "STATIC MAJOR'S PEN" CAREER MIX, clocking in at over 6-hrs & 27-mins! Static, whose real name is Stephen E. Garrett, was an R&B singer, songwriter, ghostwriter, & producer from Louisville, KY - and founding member of the group PLAYA. After his group was signed to Def Jam and they released their debut album 'Cheers 2 U', he began working closely with & learning from producer Timbaland, so much so, that he became one of Tim's in-house reference singers & songwriters. He gained his 1st big career breakthrough in co-producing & co-writing Ginuwine's Platinum-hit "Pony". Since then he became a frequent writer for both Timbaland & Magoo and Aaliyah, even penning his 1st #1 for her, with "Try Again". By 2000, he branched off more into rap and aimed to write & make hooks for legends like Jay-Z, DMX, & Nas. In 2008, he co-wrote his first rap #1 hit with Lil Wayne on "Lollipop", and became instrumental in writing a bulk of radio hits for Pretty Ricky. That same year, during the recording of his own solo album, he unfortunately died young unexpectedly at just 33, from complications during surgery to treat an autoimmune disorder. In a career that only spanned 13 years where he mostly stayed behind the scenes, his wealth & song-credits seem to be respected only by true industry insiders, but he managed to write hits for a who's who of bigger R&B artists. He was definitely talented, ahead of his time, & deserved alot more hype they he received while alive. This mix is my research & testament to him, containing all singles of his & his group's, as well as every larger song he ghostwrote, co-wrote, and/or produced for others. I've attached a graphic of the tracklist & the download LINK is below, so please check it out & enjoy!!!
