5 seconds in, and I can already say: Yes!

Saw you in Hamburg playing with Chris Cornell. Loved it!

I do a lot of listening on soundcloud to all kinds of music. I must have heard hundreds. This is the best so far.

About Working Poor:

Working Poor is the debut single from the album The Last Days of Oakland by Fantastic Negrito, who went from busking on the streets of Oakland to winning the NPR Tiny Desk contest and having the #1 blues album and single on iTunes in 2015.

"Working Poor is the current state of our country. We have been abandoned by the ruling class. We have been reduced to a country of divisive slogans designed to keep us down. Working Poor is for the millions of people who work two and three jobs and still can't make ends meet. It's for everyone who woke up one day and couldn't afford to live in the cities they grew up in."

Working Poor - Single

"'About a Bird' is really a song about extreme narcissism, the danger of ego and self-importance. It is a song about mental illness as well. In the end, it is a desperate plea to be loved."

And the Great Unkown, Part 2

Moan Snake Moan, Pt. III  The Bear - Snake

BROR GUNNAR JANSSON - Moan Snake Moan, Pt. III  The Bear - Snake

We'd like to introduce our newest signing out of San Francisco - The Monophonics. Their new album "In Your Brain" sits on the fuzzy psych side of soul and funk. Paying homage to innovators of psychedelic soul such as Sly Stone, Norman Whitfield and Funkedelic’s George Clinton. The 6 piece outfit displays their ability to put a moody stamp on each composition whether its an original or cover. Touching on everything from cinematic soul, heavy funk, '60s rock and spaghetti western laced, this album is sure to leave you tuned in and turned on!

FANTASTIC NEGRITO

...is the incarnation of a musician who is reborn after going through a lot of awful shit. In fact, the name Fantastic Negrito represents his third rebirth, literally coming back from death this time. The narrative on this man is as important as the sound, because the narrative is the sound. Songs born from a long hard life channeled through black roots music. Slide guitar, drums, piano. Urgent, desperate, edgy. Fantastic Negrito is the story of a man who struggled to “make it”, who “got it”, who lost it all, and somehow managed to find his way back. These are singular songs by a true musician who writes and produces his own work. His songs are his fuel as he continues on the third comeback of his life, at a time when our world is in upheaval.
