🎶 **PRESSIN’ THE ISSUE — STRAIGHT OUT OF THE OUTSIDERZ HISTORY BOOKS.**

This one carries some real history for us.

**“Pressin’ the Issue”** was written by the late, great **Static Major** and produced by **Tim Byrd and our own Todd White** during the **Outsiderz 4 Life** days. 💿🔥

Our connection with **Playa** meant a lot to us. We had the opportunity to work with them, learn from them, and be inspired by what they were creating. Static was a special writer and artist, and being in those rooms together is something we’ll always remember.

And we’ve actually got a piece of that history preserved. 👀

🎥 **There’s footage right here on our page from the studio session with Static and Outsiderz.**

Back then, we were just making music, chasing the dream and learning from some incredibly talented people around us. We didn't realize how valuable some of these moments would become years later.

Now we're opening those hard drives and sharing the music, footage and stories that never really got their chance.

This isn't just unreleased music.

**It's part of our story. It's part of Outsiderz history.** 💯

Long live **Static Major.** 🙏🏾🎶

“Ain’t Never” — Outsiderz 4 Life ft. Aaliyah 🖤🎶

There is so much more history behind “Ain’t Never” than simply hearing Aaliyah’s voice on a leaked recording. Back in 1999, while working at Sony Studios in New York, composer, producer, and songwriter Timothy A. Byrd (@byrdmanpro) shared a behind-the-scenes story about the recording session that gives us a small glimpse into the person Aaliyah was in the studio. According to Byrd (@byrdmanpro), she was incredibly easy to work with and trusted the writers around her. He wanted Aaliyah to write the part she ultimately sang, but she responded, “No, I trust my writers.” That moment alone says something beautiful about the level of trust and respect she had for the people she was creating with.

Byrd also recalled reaching a point where he couldn’t come up with the final line and asked Aaliyah what she would say in that situation. She came up with the line that ultimately became part of her performance, and Byrd wrote it down for her. But in true Aaliyah fashion, she noticed something else first—he had spelled her name incorrectly on the paper. 😂 She pointed out that he was missing an “A” and then jokingly told him, “I’ll let it go this time.” That little exchange may seem like a small studio moment, but stories like this are priceless because they give us a glimpse beyond the finished recording—the humor, personality, confidence, and easygoing spirit that people who worked with her experienced firsthand. 🖤

And then there is the history of the recording itself. “Ain’t Never” was never officially released, but the recording has circulated and leaked over the years, allowing fans to discover another piece of Aaliyah’s unreleased musical history. At the time, the group was known as Outsiderz 4 Life, before later becoming 3 The Hardway (@3thpro). Hearing this recording today gives us another window into that period and another example of the music that was being created around Aaliyah during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Blossom by Blossom, a Cake is Born!

Come hang out with me for a bit while I assemble some of my favorite flowers: gumpaste cherry blossoms! This reel is basically a peek behind the curtain to show you all the tiny, nerdy steps that go into creating these edible beauties. We’re talking about hand-shaping each little petal and bringing it all together, one delicate piece at a time. It’s a true labor of love, but honestly, it’s so satisfying to watch these blossoms come to life.

I’m always amazed at how much work goes into a single flower, but when you see them all together on a cake, it’s just pure magic! I can’t wait for you all to see the final cake.

Shout out to my bruddah, @byrdmanpro for the amazing soundtrack! Hit him up for custom sounds for your social media needs!

Planning a wedding or a special event and want some beautiful, bespoke flowers that won’t wilt? DM me to chat about your custom cake vision!

Wow, what an incredible journey leading the “Sync Pro Academy”for the first time! 🙌 Over three amazing sessions, we explored the ins and outs of sync licensing—from the basics to crafting sync-ready music and nailing the perfect pitch. Huge thanks to “Work Hard Play Harder” for partnering with me and making this event happen! 🎉 A special shout-out to all the performers who brought the energy during our intermissions and to “Tim Byrd”for his insightful production breakdown. 🙏 Also, much love to the @8020juicebarcafe in Virginia Beach” for providing the perfect space and everyone who attended or streamed online!
