G-noF - Meow

(Intro)
​Yeah, we all gotta learn the hard way sometimes, check it, listen close.

​(Verse 1)
​The most valuable lesson that I ever earned, came from bridges I burned and the tables that turned, never let a flawed soul take the wheel or the stern, claiming ownership of minutes that will never return, see power corrupts and it turns absolute, when the passion fades out and the point becomes moot, it's crystal clear, a diamond they loot, control over time is the forbidden fruit, don't let 'em hold the clock, don't let 'em pick the lock, cause when the pressure drops heavy they go into shock.

​(Pre-Chorus)
​Dark hearts show a face when the trouble arrives, see the real compassion fade in their desperate eyes, when they're nowhere to be found and the loyalty dies, fair-weather friends vanish like smoke in the skies.

​(Chorus)
Gone like magic, tragic, quick as a vapor, only showed up for the clout or the paper, when you got nothing left, no favor to labor, watch 'em switch up the flavor.
​
​(Verse 2)
​Being pushed and prodded, taken by a whim, that's a recipe for turmoil when the chances are slim, caused by people standing close but their morals are dim, when the chips are down, watch the light refuse to brim, it's so easy to forget, freely given respect, kindness never got returned just a bouncing check, rooms full of strangers when the money's on deck, but when hard times come, they gone in a sec, like a ghost in the machine, wiping the slate clean, when the well runs dry, you see what I mean.

​(Bridge)
​You'll know who to trust when the dust finally settles, when the wheels fall off and you're ridin' on the metal, too much power over life, too much care in wrong hands, is a mistake you won't make twice in these shifting sands, gotta stand on your own, king of your own throne, never loan out your soul, keep a seed unsown.
​
​(Pre-Chorus)
​Dark hearts show a face when the trouble arrives, see the real compassion fade in their desperate eyes, when they're nowhere to be found and the loyalty dies, fair-weather friends vanish like smoke in the skies.

​(Chorus)
Gone like magic, tragic, quick as a vapor, only showed up for the clout or the paper, when you got nothing left, no favor to labor, watch 'em switch up the flavor.

​(Outro)
​Yeah, a mistake you shouldn't make twice, keep your circle tight, keep your vision clear, watch 'em turn to vapor, watch 'em disappear, peace..

Mofunk Records Presents:
Diamond Ortiz "Special Request". Aviailable now on limited edition cassette. 
Purchase/Download available at www.MofunkRecords.com

"Diamond Ortiz is back with a fresh selection of original material, shining light on his masterful production, playing of instruments, singing and signature talkbox stylings. Drenched in G-funk synth bass and feel-good boogie vibes, sunshine synths and clean guitars, icy vocals and soulful talkboxes spitting game in harmony, Diamond is carrying the torch of his OG funk mentors into the future. Honed over many years on stages and in studios across the Bay Area and LA since youth, Diamond's grassroots DIY recordings are filled with flavor and feel, and the culture of the scenes he's grown up around.

From super sized slappers like "Poster Girl" and "Playeristic Tendencies", to the sweet saccharine gangster boogie of "1-900" and "Slow Mo", and the love filled duet "Next Level Lovin'" with label mate Moniquea, Diamond's deep understanding, versatility and command of the genre as a whole are clear.

Diamond Ortiz makes his mission clear on "Special Request" - spreading love and joy thru old school music and bringing people together through the funk."

Level Up

All Mine

From the album "2 Minutes Till Midnight" on MoFunk Records. Produced by XL Middleton. Scratches by DJ Inform (Beat Box Records).

2 Minutes Till Midnight

Gentched Up

After making serious noise in the modern funk world, XL Middleton makes a return to the g-funk/hip hop sound that marked his earlier work with "2 Minutes Till Midnight." It’s a funked out, synth-heavy excursion with an equal amount of appeal for modern funksters or the underground legions of g-funk fans that put XL on the map originally. Those familiar with his most recent albums, “Tap Water” and “Things Are Happening,” will recognize the signature synth leads and intricate analog bass lines. Those unfamiliar with Middleton as an MC will find that he challenges standards in the worlds of both underground and mainstream rap, eschewing the backpack as much as the Bentley, falling into a space that few can. XL’s lyricism is cerebral and well-read, yet it’s clear that he comes from a part of the world that relishes khakis, Chuck Taylors & Zapp records.

"2 Minutes Till Midnight" stands firmly rooted in the funk tradition of Los Angeles, showing reverence for the music that inspired it by bringing g-funk legends Kokane & Domino ("Getto Jam") into the fold as guest artists and by featuring album artwork from Joe Cool, who designed the iconic "Doggystyle" album cover for Snoop Dogg. XL's contemporaries, such as labelmates Zackey Force Funk, Moniquea, & I, Ced, also join in and help to remind us that the album is not just a self-indulgent tribute to a bygone era of music. As modern funk grew largely out of hip hop, XL takes that growth backward, and moves the music forward as a result.
