DC-based hip-hop/R&B/rock fusion group CSJQ (www.csjqmusic.com). The duo, comprised of multi-talented musicians Clayton Savage and JayQuan have released a four-track EP, The Life. Their Hollywood Music In Media award (HMMA) nominated single, “F.U.N” is an infectious, provocative bass driven nod to old-school hip-hop and R&B. Prior to joining musical forces in 2006, both artists worked with hip-hop pioneer Melle Mel (Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five). Savage, a member of the Furious 5, also released a self-titled album where his hit single “Palm of Her Hand” became the theme music for BET’s ‘Video Soul.’ JayQuan’s rich musical history includes working with Melle Mel and Grandmaster Caz. In addition, he is the creator and webmaster of The Foundation, a website dedicated to chronicling the history of hip-hop.

Humpty Dumpty is not the traditional egg, but a somewhat egg-shaped bass playing cat! This track is from the CD release "Music in Motion" from Groove Kid Nation. Rodney Lee is a professional musician and with this release he wants to bring the funk into the next generation!
This afternoon I added around 1200 tracks in the database. Tracks from albums like Brass Construction, Brick, Chic, Mutiny, Chas, Delegation, Dayton, Cheryl Lynn, Starpoint and many more. I also upped about 30 samples.

Last year Drew Schultz put out the "Back To Class" CD that benefited the public school music programs in Detroit with The Four Tops and a ton of other old-school Motown artists as featured guests. This music project, which he just starting to continue:
Last Sunday, September 1st, he released the follow up single featuring Eddie Willis, original guitarist of Motown's studio recording band, The Funk Brothers. Eddie is the guitarist on almost every Detroit-era Motown hit by folks like Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross & The Supremes, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, The Temptations, The Four Tops, Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, The Contours, Mary Wells, Junior Walker & The All Stars, Edwin Starr, and many more. As with the original CD, 50% of the profits will go to benefit the music programs at the Detroit Public Schools. This is the first in a line of singles, and Drew has plans on starting to branch the project out to other cities as well.
