Sounds Like
Funky-ass neo-soul with some serious hip-hop flavor to it. Grooves that sound like they were sampled from an old soul record, yet are completely fresh and original. It's the funky rhythms of James Brown and Funkadelic mixed with some slick jazz keyboards and rich harmonies of classic Motown, intricate rhymes and lyrical melodies, all set to a dope, dancable modern beat. George Clinton meets George Duke meets Kanye West! .. ..
