Alliteration aside, funky and fresh are two attributes that many people desire but few can lay claim to. Throw your whole objectiveness away. You either have it or you don't.
Following their epic link up on "Where You At?", James Gardin and Ozay Moore reconnect and provide us with a soothing yet stirring banger to close out the first month of the new year. The two rhyme sayers trade unconventional styles with stanzas that are purposefully palatable yet have an unsuspecting thread of confidence running through them. The assortment of poignant and philosophical gems peppered across its soundscape include lamentations on the afterlife, the preservation of cultural art forms and much more. Oh, this will all be going down while making your head bop and body sway back and forth.
If you were wondering how to freshen up your funk, consider this the first chapter in the instruction manual. Production by TheyCallMeHeat.
Funky Funky Fresh is out now on Illect Recordings.
