'Highway Robbery' is available now on classic black vinyl☛ smarturl.it/HighwayRobbery

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
(Yah) Keep up, I puff reefer
Without it feeling like I'm gonna self destruct
Hangin' with the homies didn't help me much, not in hindsight
Cause all we did was get drunk and find a fight
Shine bright like Aurora Borealis
Light up the sky, my slice of pie
Is when I tell my testimony like I survived
It's not a war without us, it's a slaughter
Sh*t I got daughters, and they need a father
So I docked the hate I harbored 
Anchor for the family moving smarter
And circulating love like true supporters
But I know some that wanna destroy us
I feel it's so dumb to f*ck with a warrior
So I got a gun and bucks for a lawyer
Got 'em on speed dial but tucking a Taurus… Simpson

Hook 1:
I'm Runnin' 
Runnin' through my mind
Runnin' through my rhymes on the run
Days of runnin' the streets ran it's course
Now I'm in my run down city holdin' funds, lovin' it

I'm Runnin' 
Runnin' through my mind
Runnin' through my rhymes on the run
Days of runnin' the streets ran it's course
Now I'm in my run down city holdin' the gun, runnin' sh*t

Verse 2:
24/7, 365 
We get live, set it off
I put a bullet in ya frame
Smiley face by your name and check it off
We let it off, so get low ten fold
No matter the zip code, in rip mode
Hot head till the clips cold
Act stupid, get dum dums
I flash like a young gun WIlliam H. Bonney
Had the habit when a record label wouldn't sign me
Now I got a deal and I'm still grimy, fa' real
It's no lame on me, same ole G
Foes get holes cause the name hold ki's
Weights so the snakes get a taste and OD
While I kick back with my favorite Oz.
Burnin' through that flame OG

Hook 2:
I'm Runnin' 
Runnin' through my mind
Runnin' through my rhymes on the run
Days of runnin' the streets ran it's course
Now I'm in my run down city holdin' funds, lovin' it

I'm Runnin' 
Runnin' through my mind
Runnin' through my rhymes on the run
Days of runnin' the streets ran it's course
Now I'm in my run down city holdin' the gun, runnin' sh*t

Temperamental (Feat. Phonte Coleman)

Why do I feel like I'm going to catch some words from people on this one???

Due to Soundcloud's Policies, I can't stream some of the music that has been on my account. You can still stream and download the tune through the Stream & Download link above.

Here's a Qdup Re-Rub version Blurred Lines. I did this when I first heard it back in May, before it really saw the huge attention that it garnered over the summer. I had no idea it would have been as big as it got and more did it for a bit of fun as I loved the beat and feel of the track and was pretty happy to have heard both Get Lucky and this track being a glimpse of funky & disco inspired music being played on the radio. There has been a lot of controversy over this track this year. People either seem to HATE or LOVE this track... From finger pointing of misogynistic lyrics, to a pre-emptive lawsuit against the threatening Marvin Gaye estate... It's probably because of the similarity to Marvin's tune that caught my ear on this and I wish there were more new songs that sounded like that, so it's pretty ridiculous to me that there would actually be a lawsuit in this day and age over that. I'm sorry, but you can't copyright a genre or style or half of the music ever made would infringe!

It's all just for a bit of fun and not to be taken too seriously.

I'm a big fan of The Black Keys, and this track in particular stood out as a song I could pay homage to, but also change into something totally different. I flipped the soulful rock track and added a touch of Electro-Soul with a few sections for you Drum & Bass heads. Enjoy the free download!

In the spirit of Valentine's day and for the love of funk, I've decided to give away one of my secret weapon Re-Rubs of Brass Construction's funky anthem "Can You See The Light". I originally made this one leading up to the summer festival season and premiered it at Shambhala Music Festivals wonderful Fractal Forrest stage back in Aug 2013. It's a real funky breaks throw down with Qdup's remix treatment to rock the party. Kept as a secret weapon tune since then, it's now yours for FREE!  

Catch Qdup Djing this Friday Feb 14th in Toronto, Ontario for a Valentine's Day throw down when Make It Funky & CirQlation present "Loving the Funk" Featuring Qdup (Washington DC) @ ROUND Venue.

A Skills&Krafty Kuts - Happiness (Dan Rave Re Rub)

Back in September 2007, Freestyle Records released ´Black Feeling´ an album project brought to life by Australian musical supremo Lance Ferguson (The Bamboos, Cookin´ On 3 Burners, Lanu) 

Each track was presented under a pseudonym to give the impression of an album you would find whilst digging in a Caribbean record shop or American thrift store. As a collection of reworked classics, the album set dance floors alight across the world, indeed, the single ´Hippy Skippy Moon Strut´ by The Mighty Show-Stoppers became a huge selling 12 inch, and also notched up well over 350,000 individual viewings on You Tube to date!

Now in 2011, Freestyle Records is pleased as punch to be releasing this teaser 45 single that features 2 cuts from the forthcoming follow up album ´Black Feeling: Volume Two´ (FSRCD/LP090) and what total corkers they are too!

The A side is Lance & Co´s fantastic reworking of the anthemic ´Burning Spear´ under the moniker of The Poly-Tones, an intense and driving piece of soulful funk, and what could possibly equal that for the flip side? The Mighty Show-Stoppers giving Johnnie Pate´s blaxploitation soundtrack classic ´Shaft In Africa´ such a convincing and wonderful re-working, you will think you are back in time, on the film set whilst Richard Roundtree (that's John Shaft to you sucker!) kicks some serious ass!

Limbs and Leaves

Out June 22nd on 12" vinyl on Breakbeat Paradise Recordings.

The time has come for BadboE to return to once again rock the floors across the planet with an explicit 4-track party breaks EP. The Ghetto Funk Testament is BadboE’s interpretation of the sound of ghetto funk that has been causing so much hype over the last few years. The 4 funky bangers on this double a-sided EP is taking it back to where it all started – as sample-heavy – upbeat party smashing music!

This is the first major release from BadboE since his successful second album Pump Up The Funk that dropped in 2012. Followed by an instrumental EP and a remix album, which very much celebrated the ghetto funk sound with tunes from the very best in the scene.

Making a full Ghetto Funk EP was a natural next step for one of the pioneer players in the funky breaks scene, who has been one of the go-to sources for all funky DJs for the last 10 years. BadboE’s approach on ghetto funk however is not taking itself too serious, but focuses on the good samples and heavy beats and just enough bass to keep it ghetto without loosing the soul of the music. All 4 cuts on the EP keeps up that happy funky vibes and the b-boy flavors that BadboE is known and loved for.  

Breakbeat Paradise Recordings is now one of the last labels to be releasing funky breaks/ghetto funk on vinyl and we are proud to continue to provide the very best this scene has to offer.  This EP will remain exclusive for vinyl DJs for the next 6 month before dropping on digital.

AGFA Go-Go Bananas (Qdup Foundation Remix) preview

This is the remix I did for the 2nd Ghetto Funk Icons Free Album back in Dec 2011. At the time I was starting to tinker around with using Serato Video and had been collecting some video assets of cool clips and things to use. The result is the cheeky mighty boosh sample used in this... Too much fun to make. 

Check out the video here-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnC8esXiMjM

This one has been available for free to members of the Ghetto Funk blog since 2011, but i thought I should make it available here as well to anyone who has missed it. If you have not copped the rest of the album, do yourself a favor and go get it here-
