Okay here's the bottom line -- I have a professional life, you can google that stuff I suppose, but I sure am passionate about using any free time, off work and all I have to make funk music under the alias cHUCk dA fONk, and I've amassed a great group of fellas and ladies over the years to join me, fONk, to come up with the funk outfit fONKSQUISh mob. Members of the mOb include members of the J.B.'s, Parliament / Funkadelic, Byard Lancaster, Uncut Musical Products, From Cosmos to Chaos, and so on and so forth. As fONKSQUISh we all continue to use the spirit of our R&B forefathers to make intellectual dance floor spiritual music. You know it ! Feel us out, and please listen.

THE DIARY Volume 1.5 (20 Years of the Remix) now available for free download at WWW.MUSICOFSUBSTANCE.COM!
“This CD just shows how much Chris Read knows about historic Hip Hop production techniques - Its just a shame he wasn't creating this stuff during the eras he's covering as we would probably rate the man as being up there with Paul C, Pete Rock, Premier and all! - I can't think of another Hip Hop CD I've played so much in years” (ANDY SMITH - PORTISHEAD)
"Chris continues the rap anthology concept of his super-dope 'The Diary' megamix in the shape of a remix project, re-lacing acapellas from 89-2009 with historically accurate beats. 'The Diary 1.5' serves as a great platform for Chris to showcase his ample beat-making skills whilst referencing those who've inspired him." (DJ WOODY - FORMER WORLD ITF CHAMPION)
“Wicked! The perfect companion to The Diary Mixtape. Shows an impressive knowledge of sounds from all eras.” (MR THING - FORMER WORLD DMC CHAMPION)
"Crazy! This is Rap History in the making. Chris proves his production skills on this one to the fullest. A wonderful and refreshing journey through all eras of hip hop. Double thumbs up!" (MARC HYPE - FORMER ITF CHAMPION)
