“Joy (Streetlight Edition)” 

This track is the calm after the storm, the moment when love, or at least the memory of it, becomes something sacred instead of painful. It’s set beneath the soft glow of city streetlights, where she walks alone but no longer feels broken. The world looks the same, but she’s changed.

The story isn’t about getting him back; it’s about understanding what he gave her. Through loss, she’s learned gratitude. Through silence, she’s learned how to listen. The streetlight becomes a symbol of quiet illumination, a reminder that even in the dimmest corners, love can still shine.

“Joy (Streetlight Edition)” is about healing, not the sudden, cinematic kind, but the slow and steady acceptance that grows from within. It’s her finding balance, smiling again for no reason, letting music and memory blend into peace.

In the larger story arc, this song feels like breathing again after holding it in for too long, soft, soulful, and radiant with maturity. It’s the light that doesn’t blind; it glows, steady and forgiving. The sound of a woman who’s no longer chasing love, but carrying it within her self.

Joy (Streetlight Edition)

Nice & Slow 44 (Aaliyah Forever) [Full Mixtape]

originally uploaded in 2011.
breaking Da Bassment Demo Tape to the world was one of the coolest, serendipitous events of my life. i've been in love with the crew since i was a kid. the below blog post was my personal love letter to Da Bassment/Swing Mob, but through that i got to meet so many others who share my passion.
i've had it on good authority that some of the members have heard it, & even Timbo himself was told about the tape.
i guess the main reason i put it up at all was for the historical record, so we had SOMEthing these guys n gals worked on together during their formative years at Dahjelon Studios.

*update as of 15/09/2020:
-there are currently two separate efforts by fans to properly re-master and re-release this tape. hopefully we can have a hi-fi version of it sometime soon.
-it was recently confirmed that the girls from Sugah have re-united over the last few years (Tweet, Sue + Rolita), and are currently in the middle of releasing an EP, possibly followed by an album.
