Suppertime is the solo album that Static Major was reportedly set to release on OG Music/Blackground this year.[1] "I stay in the streets, that’s where I draw my inspiration," Static Major said describing where he gets his inspiration. "If it can’t be played in the hood, then it just doesn’t work for me. And nobody can hold me on harmony. My whole aura is not your typical R&B aura."[2]
