Playa (band)
Playa is an American R&B-hip-hop group. The original lineup consisted of Jawaan "Smoke" Peacock, Benjamin "Black" Bush and Stephen "Static Major" Garrett. Playa is best known for their 1998 hit album, Cheers 2 U, produced by longtime collaborator Timbaland. Static was notable for being a successful songwriter of hit singles and album tracks for artists such as Ginuwine, Aaliyah, Truth Hurts, Lil Wayne and Brandy.
History
Early years
Jawaan Peacock, Benjamin Bush and Stephen Garrett met in the late 1980s and formed while the guys were still in high school. Smokey and Digital Black met through a mutual friend who thought the guys would sound good together, while Smokey and Static met in church while performing in a gospel group. Alongside other guys, the three men that would eventually form Playa created a group called A Touch of Class.
Joining Swing Mob
As A Touch of Class, the group met DeVante from Jodeci backstage at a concert. They began singing Boyz II Men songs when DeVante asked them if they knew any Jodeci songs. Essentially they impressed DeVante by performing a cappella versions of Jodeci songs backstage after a concert in 1991/1992. The guys were then signed onto DeVante's Swing Mob label with Elektra Records in 1993/94. Magazines such as Vibe and The Source attribute the signing to Static's close friendship with the boss and producers of the DeVante recording label. The group finally became known as Playa after DeVante heard the guys sing and called them "lil playas".
