Static Major & Heavy D: Uptown Connection

   Who would of thought Heavy D and Static Major are connected. How could this be you ask...Well it just so happens that Heavy D was responsible the signing of the group Jodeci. DeVante Swing was in Jodeci, and he discovered Playa ( a group Static was). Static went on to tour with Jodeci..which included Heavy D, Mary J Blige, Father MC, Christopher Williams on the ticket. Waterbed Hev had an artist on Uptown Records named Monifah and Static wrote a hook for her which ended up Ma$e's first album.
   Heavy D & Static Major were A-likes as far as versatility. Hev raps and does a reggae sing song, Static sings, raps ,and has been known to spit some patois. Both artists are awesome writers,  phenomenal producers, and very creative. Heavy gave us Jodeci, Static Major broke Lil Wayne to the next level with "Lollipop". Each have Platinum and Gold Plaques. Jay Z called upon both of them to do songs on his album. Chris Brown is a fan of both artists. Chris did a Heavy D rendition "Nuthin But Luv" and a Playa remake with Aaliyah "Don't Think They Know". Hev & Static were legendary..To bad they had to pass on. Each leaves a timeless legacy that will live on forever.
