Last week me and the homie Mr. Speak were just hanging out and decided to put together this “The Future of Funk” mix. It’s a well known fact I like that Modern Funk so I thought it was only fitting to share my love with the rest of the world. Did my best to get some exclusives in there together with a healthy dose of that bomb funk. Many thanks to all the artists for helping me put this together and thanks to Deluge for the last minute cover art. Enjoy this 45 minute ride to the funky side. Destination…The Future of Funk!
