FUNK PARTY SESSION - Part 1

Sampler of our Bethlehem Jazz Catalogue & our Salsoul Records Catalogue.  Verse Music Group owns 100% of the Worldwide Rights to these Master Sound Recordings, as well as administers 100% of the publishing rights to these compositions.  

Instant Funk- I Got My Mind Made Up

This mashup blends soul, funk, reggae, and hip-hop into one explosive ride.

At its core are two heavyweights:
🎙️ Joe Cocker – Woman to Woman (raw soulful energy)
🔥 Inner Circle – Da Bomb (dancehall fire)

Layered throughout are carefully chosen samples that bridge eras and styles:

EPMD – Knick Knack Patty Wack (golden-age hip hop punch)

2Pac – California Love (West Coast anthem vibes)

Jurassic 5 – The Rhythm (turntable flow)

YG Hootie – Kali Love (Cali grit)

Aretha Franklin – Baby, I Love You (queen of soul power)

Wreckx-N-Effect – New Jack Swing II (90s groove)

Quasimoto – Astro Black (abstract flavor)

Lonnie Liston Smith – A Chance for Peace (cosmic jazz calm)

The result is a genre-bending journey — from soul to reggae to boom-bap to G-funk — stitched together to celebrate rhythm, groove, and the timeless art of sampling.

Woman 2 Da Bomb

This album is a vibrant, provocative journey through the multifaceted landscape of love, identity, and societal expectations in the 1980s.
