‘You Never Lost It’: Tiny Harris Posts Throwback Footage From Solo Project, Fans Urge Her to ‘Get the Vibes Back’

It seems Tiny Harris misses working on her music.

The wife of rapper T.I. started off strong with her solo project last year. She even released her single “I F–kin Luv U” in May and performed the track at several different shows. However, things took a halt when her godbrother Marquinarius “Sanchez” Holmes died last summer. Sanchez, who went by “Chez Da King,” was a known music producer helping the mother of four with her music.

On Monday, Tiny posted old video footage shot last year from when she was recording her music video for “I F–kin Luv U.” She was dressed in all black while posing with a mic in her hand in front of a desolate area. She recounted the moment and wrote in her Instagram caption, “Lost footage frm when I was really focusing on my solo project! Before @chezdaking left me in the streets alone!! 💔😢 Been trying to get the vibes bck ever since!! #Ryder #Tiny #SoloEp 🤷🏽‍♀️ 👑🔥‼️”

Fans encouraged the Xscape singer to get back to making music again.

“Get back in the studio Tiny! I still want a solo project. Always loved your voice. Serve that 💩boo❤️”

“Yasss @majorgirl 😍😍 can we say seexxxaaay slay baby slaaaaayu 😩 he is still with you super woman.”

After songwriting and singing with her music group Xscape for 25 years, Tiny finally decided to work on her solo music project.

Although she never finished her EP, her song “I F–kin Luv U” seemed to be a hit among fans. During an April listening party, the 44-year-old artist explained why she wanted to release music of her own.

“Sometimes its harder to branch out from what they [the fans] know,” she said at the time. “I thought, maybe if I create something different with this new music, maybe they’ll get into it.”

It’s unknown if Tiny will release other music anytime soon, but she apparently misses the music scene.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
