New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Ever since the 2009 release of "Pressure," which served as Hassahn Phenomenon's debut album, where

Together,
Emilio Bucks and Hassahn Phenomenon have formed the Producer/Songwriter tandem, SENIOR CLASS. The name speaks for itself and the duo is ecstatic to be working together again. With one single "
Finding You" already receiving spins on WGCI and other radio mediums, Senior Class has done it again with a music placement in the highly anticipated Lifetime movie, "Aaliyah - The Princess of R&B."
The song, "Down & Up" originally appeared on the "
Pressure" album and is slated to breathe again via the Original Lifetime Movie. The song is a reflective hip-hop piece that features Hassahn Phenomenon lyrical gifts while R&B crooner, Patrick Fenison provides soulful essence on the hook. Produced by
