All For Funk 2019

If you've ever heard the term "period piece" used in the context of a movie synopsis, then you will likely find it easy to understand the concept behind a project soon to be released by Los Angeles based producer/composer/recording artist XL Middleton, under the alias “Big China Mack.”

Deeply inspired by hip hop's west coast "G-funk" subgenre, XL spent his youth crafting a sound full of the heavy handclaps, synth bass lines, and warm chord progressions that characterized the style, without delving into the misogynistic, crime-laden subject matter it became notorious for. Now, nearly twenty years after G-funk's decline, XL is seeking to pay homage to the style by taking on a role and playing it in much the same way an actor would a starring feature. He is creating a bonafide 1990's west coast hip hop album, replete with the street-savvy tales and exaggerated cadence that many of its most legendary artists once delivered. The final result pays tribute not only to G-funk, but to the sample-heavy sound of early 1990’s west coast rap, pre G-funk, pioneered by artists like Compton’s Most Wanted, NWA, and Ant Banks. The songs on the Big China Mack album individually sound like they could have been released anywhere between 1991 and 1995. Abiding by logic that many would consider a violation of hip hop's complex system of rules, he raps on this project about a life he never lived; the "gangsta" life. He does it not to convince you that he is truly a veteran of the streets, but to pay tribute to a style of music he fell in love with as a child. XL is not trying to make you believe that Big China Mack is akin to his real life any more than Joe Pesci tried to make you believe the character of Nicky Santoro is akin to his.

In order to take this pastiche to the most authentic level possible, it will be released on cassette tape, the popular audio format which had been largely replaced by the compact disc by the end of the 90's (each cassette tape will also come with a free download so listeners can easily add the music to their phones and mp3 players too). Expect the project to be released on December 3rd, 2013.

Songs included in the sampler: "Tha Way We Ride," "Booming System," "Hoe'z Tryna Fade Me," "Ain't Goin Out," and the instrumental of the album intro.

It was recorded simultaneously with the original version and was released on the 12" vinyl when the solo version was chosen to be a part of the album. The full version of the remix is 11 minutes long and features a guitar solo by Johnny "Guitar" Watson.

Mark Ronson Feat. D'Angelo - Glass Mountain Trust (B. Bravo & Teeko Re-Funk)

Evoking memories of iconic groups like Mtume, SOS Band, and Midnight Star, this single is the next step in a new direction for Moniquea, one which is fueled by a revamped version of the classic 1980's boogie funk sound. "I Don't Wanna Get Used To It" is a powerful, yet danceable tune in the modern funk vein whose backbone is hard-hitting claps and crisp, chunky synth lines that back Moniquea's silky lead vocals and hard-edged vibrato.
