I’ve listened to this track so many times!! Slaaaaay all day.. like all funkin day. 

Funk in the Trunk

{Hook]
J’me rappelle la route de la Baie-James, où qu’on roulait, qu’on gelait, qu’on fume
Les phares coupaient la noirceur pendant que les pylônes sortaient d’la brume
On venait du bloc, pas d’fortune, juste du diesel dans nos veines
Sur la route de la Baie-James… j’en suis revenu, mais jamais pareil

(✕2 pour partir)

[Couplet 1]
Aujourd’hui j’ai l’dos magané, pis des cheveux pas mal plus gris
Les kids checkent TikTok en bas, savent pas trop c’qu’on a bâti
Y voient Hydro sur les factures, le logo bleu sur un papier
Mais pas le froid qui me fendait l’visage à -30 dans l’char de chantier

Dans ma tête, j’suis encore là, Mac truck qui grimpe dans la bruine
Une CB qui griche en trois langues, un phare perdu dans la résine
On roulait nord comme si d’rien n’était, payes de ciment dans les mains
Sans trop comprendre que nos kilomètres coupaient le territoire d’quelqu’un d’ben loin

À soir j’regarde les nouvelles, on parle d’climat, de nation
On nomme les Cree, les ententes, les procès, les compensations
Moi j’me rappelle des visages, des feux au bout des chemins
Pis j’me demande encore des fois : on a gagné quoi? Y’ont perdu quoi, eux autres, là-haut, pour rien?

[Hook]
J’me rappelle la route de la Baie-James, où qu’on roulait, qu’on gelait, qu’on fume
Les phares coupaient la noirceur pendant que les pylônes sortaient d’la brume
On venait du bloc, pas d’fortune, juste du diesel dans nos veines
Sur la route de la Baie-James… j’en suis revenu, mais jamais pareil

[Couplet 2]
J’suis retourné là, un été, touriste cheap avec ma nouvelle caravane
Plus de roulottes de chantier, mais des panneaux expliquant « l’grand projet qui avance »
Photos de l’époque sur des pancartes, casques blancs, sourires d’affiche
Pas une goutte de slush sur les bottes, pas une larme dans la corniche

J’ai revu un vieux Cree, je sais pas si c’tait l’même bonhomme
Mais ses yeux disaient pareil : « Vos barrages, c’est pas juste des colonnes »
Il m’a parlé de camps noyés, de routes en gravelle où passent les orignaux
De ses petits-enfants sur Facebook, entre la trappe pis les vidéos

Moi j’ai parlé de ma jeunesse, de mes payes, de mon bloc en béton
De comment j’ai cru qu’on bâtissait l’avenir, sans lire les minuscules conditions
On s’est serré la main dans l’vent, deux vieux gars pris dans leur temps
Lui avec sa terre en morceaux, moi avec des regrets qui reviennent souvent

[Hook]
J’me rappelle la route de la Baie-James, où qu’on roulait, qu’on gelait, qu’on fume
Les phares coupaient la noirceur pendant que les pylônes sortaient d’la brume
On venait du bloc, pas d’fortune, juste du diesel dans nos veines
Sur la route de la Baie-James… j’en suis revenu, mais jamais pareil

[Pont – demi-parlé]
Si les fils tombent un jour, pis qu’les pylônes mangent la tourbe,
est-ce que les rivières vont reprendre leurs courbes?
Ou ben l’nord va garder pour toujours nos lignes droites dans sa peau,
comme des cicatrices d’guerre sur un dos?

Y’a un kid qui rappe dans un sous-sol à Chibou,
beat lo-fi, hoodie noir, yeux brillants, fierté partout
Il connaît l’histoire en morceaux, pas nos nuits de roulotte ni nos peurs
Mais il sent quand même dans la basse qu’y a d’quoi qui manque dans le cœur

[Hook – final]
J’me rappelle la route de la Baie-James, où qu’on roulait, qu’on gelait, qu’on fume
Les phares coupaient la noirceur pendant que les pylônes sortaient d’la brume
On venait du bloc, pas d’fortune, juste du diesel dans nos veines
Sur la route de la Baie-James… j’en suis revenu, mais jamais pareil

Sur la route de la Baie-James, on a vendu quelques saisons
Pour des mégawatts qui descendent jusque dans les tours du centre-ville, en bas d’la nation
Si tu montes là-haut un jour, oublie pas d’écouter le terrain
Parce que la route de la Baie-James… te ramène, mais jamais pareil.

Sur la route de la Baie-James

Bootleg of Patti Drew's version of Hard to Handle, hats out to the great Ottis Redding for the original version of that song. I think she funked it up a little more to be honest.

Mr. Ours - YMA (Alias Remix)ft Turbohag

JPOD the Beat Chef goes in on an all time classic!! Perfecting the groove and maintaining the integrity of the original. 

Last year at Electric Forest Festival he dropped it and people took notice saying:

"We were a bit skeptical when we saw this British Columbia, Canada DJ was shirtless and decked out in a cape during his Friday performance at The Hangar. But he totally brought it, with his dancehall jams, Al Green remixes, and other high energy tracks. Super powers? He just may have them."

We couldn't agree more!!

In the name of "Love & Happiness" we bring this to you as a "Free Download" enjoy!

In late 2016 Mustafa Akbar was in a terrible car accident. The fact that he survived the intense wreck is a fantastic miracle. However without medical benefits he is solely responsible for expensive hospital bills and ongoing therapy that will be required on his road to recovery.

His amazing friends at Fort Knox Recordings have created a GoFundMe Campaign to help him cover these enormous costs. Since Mustafa and I have been working together I decided to donate this track for the cause. Anyone who donates to this campaign can send me a message to admin@jpodtbc.com with their donation info and I will reply with a WAV copy of this track.

Charlie Beale, Grid Division - Stick Em' Up

Los Angeles based producer Nick Alvarado and vocalist EVeryman have teamed to form Little Giants, who aim to make proper hip-hop music for your mind, body and soul. Pairing inspired, thought-provoking lyrics set over crisp, funky beats, the sounds of Little Giants harken back to the golden era of hip-hop. This release commemorates the memory of Nick “Pumpkin” Alvarado, who touched thousands of people with his signature music productions and acclaimed DJ sets at top music festivals and clubs across the US and abroad. He tragically passed away on March 25th 2016, but his generous spirit and magical music will continue to live on.

To honor his memory, Nick’s best friend and Little Giants production partner, Evan “Everyman” Shafran, started The Little Giant Acorn Foundation for The Arts, a non-profit organization that helps children get started in music or the performing arts who otherwise could not afford to do so. Nick absolutely loved to share his passion for music and performance art with the next generation and nothing gave him more joy.

By purchasing this LITTLE GIANTS album you are helping to ensure that Nick’s spirit continues to shine while ensuring that the next generations of “little acorns” have the means to pursue their creative passions. It was always a dream of Nick's to have a vinyl record of his own. It serves as a symbol to our community that Nick “Pumpkin” Alvarado will never be forgotten and to always let your light shine bright. <3
