Minneapolis Funk written by funky white boys Billy Franze and Zannman in Billy's back yard in North East Minneapolis in 1995 with the lyric, Billy's bass, and a six of Heineken. The first WareHouse Barbarians session ever took place that Summer at Wild Sound in The Ford Centre building by the new Target Field in the Warehouse District of Minneapolis. It  saw NPG members Michael Bland & The Hornheads team with Zannman on bass, Stevie Cherewan on B3, Lee Blaske on clav, and Dave Barry and Billy Franze on electric guitars.  Greg "G#" Sain sang lead. Cool Funk did some CRAZY ad libs as Tom Tucker Sr., Alex Oana, & I were mixing it at CD Underbelly in 1997. Zannman, Cool Funk, and G# clowned the background vocals... This is dedicated to our very beloved friend Tom Tucker Sr., who passed earlier this year. It, and his other work on The Warehouse Barbarians project, is probably among the last work of this amazingly talented, Grammy-award winning engineer and local music legend to ever be released.

McHugh and McClerking opened their doors to the industry in late 2010. Gary McClerking had been performing for many years in the Chicago night scene & went on a stage tour with Grammy winning artist Chaka Khan. In 2014 he went on to win "The Voice" Chicago trials at the Rosemont Theatre. His family is also very well known in the Windy City for their musical talents & contributions. His sons and family in St. Louis and Melrose Park all are backing his constant journey.

Steven J. McHugh aka Steve J the Songwriter began writing poetry and hip hop back in the Tupac/MC Hammer era during the early 90's. Advised by his teachers & peers he quickly learned how to structure his verses like songs. He has written and produced over 150 songs since and over 1000 beats via Acid Pro/Pro Tools Media. Supported by family and friends Steve is ready to breathe fire & bring new HIT SONGS to life. Steve & Gary believe each song carries a message & offers a meaning you can truly relate to. Steve owes much of his talent to the superior artistry of Eminem, Gary offers his honors in tribute of Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke!

Together and with family behind them Gary and Steve (with the help of their featuring artists) are releasing all of their best creations to the public with "Hear Me Pray," "Slow Down," "1 Nite in Hollywood" & "Outnumbered" leading the way!
