Rare Gem: Sugah "Sugar & Spice" (Tweet's former group)





Here's the writeup my boy Buddha did for StaticMajorIsMusic

Some of the Aaliyah fans may recognize this title because Jomo Hankerson spoke about the song in an article back in the day:

"In the process of recording One in a Million, we got a demo from Timbaland and Missy. The song was called “Sugar and Spice,” which felt a little too kiddie to us, but the structure of the record, the melody, had what became Tim’s signature triplebeat on it. We were overwhelmed, and we sent it to Aaliyah. She called us back like, The track is crazy, this is the best thing I’ve ever heard. So we flew Timbaland and Missy into Detroit to work with her."

So is this the same song? You betcha it is. So we've let you guys into Sugah's world and we've also solved an Aaliyah mystery. Now the question remains, did Aaliyah record the song? Something we'll probably never know, but until then enjoy the sounds of Susan, Rolita and Tweet.

And stay tuned because I recently interviewed Tweet and I'll be posting that soon.
