It has been 10 years since Fort Knox Five released their first singles, and this past decade has proven very fruitful for the funky foursome. 2003 saw the launch of both Fort Knox Five and their seminal Fort Knox Recordings imprint. To celebrate this milestone, Fort Knox Five have selected 15 of their favorite original tracks from the entire decade.

Fort Knox Five has had the pleasure of collaborating with some incredible vocalists who are well represented on this collection. Mustafa Akbar of Thunderball and Nappy Riddem is featured on several tracks, as are Rootz and Zeebo of See-I and Thievery Corporation. The Godfather of Electro Funk himself, Afrika Bambaataa is featured on two tracks. Asheru, best known for his Boondocks theme song is on the opening track. Thievery Corporation’s dancehall voice, Sleepy Wonder as well as DC’s own DIY legend Ian Svenonius are both featured. The list continues with former US3 front-man and prolific artist Akil Dasan and the Zulu Nation’s King Kamonzi. Rounding out the list of featured vocalists is Beta-G, on loan from the US Department of Bhangra.

This body of music not only spans 10 years of Fort Knox Five in the studio, but also live performances and dj appearances worldwide. This music has been performed and played for countless thousands of fans around the globe. These tunes have also been heard in such great movies as The Cove (2010 Academy Award Winner), Stand Up Guys and You Again as well as TV shows like The Fringe. No stranger to the wide world of video games, Fort Knox Five songs have appeared on Need For Speed: Shift, Skate It, NBA Live 10, Test Drive Unlimited 2, Dirt 3, Sims and others.

10 Years of Fort Knox Five shows the music diversity of the group with one foot firmly planted in funk. Reggae and dub can be heard clearly alongside hip-hop. The group is not afraid to break boundaries and delve into rock, swing and even bhangra in their musical explorations. This collection of music represents the last decade of Fort Knox Five’s musical growth and development.

Some say a pit bull some a pit boss, climbed from the losses at the bottom back up to the top......more than once upon da time as I lyrically floss the rhyme. Got No choice but to take back what’s mine, Neva erasing the grime the haters tried to toss dis time.....sown from a full fledged attack by pervEverts cockleduudle extrordinire to nurture the establishment of my true worth, through ultrasonic jamming of recorded sounds following me arounded,  transpired from wedding gowns insists and resists to steal the fuks of da deal of manipulative unreal and nefarious seals as the cornered cockleduudle squeals 

Had life by the balls til the ghosts showed up, can't wait til I look back and see the blessing in disguise once again.

 ****PLEASE**** Help support my bloke azz til dis shit irons itself out. ****** $adammschnabel or to make a statement $COCKLEDUUDLE   CASH APP.   when did we make donating to the synthetically poor against the rules……

Stop listening to the righteously entitled 

What goes around cumzzz around
I’ve been paying it forward my whole life and won’t eva change…. Do shit don’t douche it!!! Evolve not Revolve!!!!! Team Work Makes the Dream Work!!!! What might be considered an obstacle could be a life-altering asset…. Light, love, emotional control and rational introspection is required for the dimensional  transgression of this realm to meld with the kingdom of heaven. Where there’s jealousy there should be inspiration. Let anger and hatred become motivation. Circular retaliation leads only towards darkness and death. Forgiveness and repentance could eventually lead to evolutionary righteous collaboration.
 


Metallica-bob Marley-pink Floyd-great full dead-The ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND-Hip Hop/DNB/Breaks-RnB influenced electronic/house. From my first (of dozens) Allman Brothers show in 96’ til I Landed flat broke a few years ago.  Amphitheater lots, venues, “raves”, festivals,  were my second home.  Any  talented live music I could find was a reason to get out of town. The list is endless with pretty much no limit on genres.  Xcept country. I was a B-boy with Differential Flava Crew from the inception til 03’ when I left Buffalo.  My kids have more exposure to music in five years than I had in 20……. I’ll never forget the first time I saw Z-Trip at bonoroo 2002 and was jaw dropped. Roger Watters, another unforgettable show, and front and center for my fav MC Chali 2na at small venues in Humboldt…… The only good thing about COVID was bringing DJ’s to social media…….. Unfortunately I have this problem of ending up in places with shitty service………  Only I’m America
