Statik announces the release of his 3rd LP, The Hangover, due out this summer, and Sha Money XL’s upcoming One Stop Shop producer conference in Arizona.

UPDATE: YN writes:

I reached out and Jay hit me back with some clarity. “Maybe” was a demo of a song he wrote for Puff. It was never his record. Or ever intended to be on American Gangster, the studio sessions from which it was recorded.


UPDATE #2: Sean C says it’s from the first night they played for Jay [for AG]; he went right into the booth and never finished this one.
