Between Dam-Funk’s overwhelming love of music and his cat’s uncanny resemblance to portly striped scribe, F. Scott Fitzgerald (The Cat), he’s catapulted into the ranks of my favorite musicians. Of course, anyone making music for a living “loves it,” but barely a day can go by without Dam dropping some new funk on the masses. He describes his latest nine-minute jam, “Don’t Let the Smile Fool U,” as “Modern-Funk 2 the fullest! No off beat sh*t. No wonky sh*t. No indie BLOG sh*t!” And lest you think this file will be ever-green, he adds in the next tweet, “it ain’t gon’ be up long. U gotta move fast wit’ my Funk. My Funk ain’t desperate. Take it or leave it. The Funk will always be cool.” Arguing against this axiom is futile.

Good God, this rocks. Those fuzzed out synths are sweet.
Somebody should call Billy Ocean, to have him cut some vocals for “10 West”. I’m thinking a slowed down funky version of “Carribean Queen”. I’m probably alone in this, but I think that would bang hard.

Apparently, Dam’s working with MC Eiht again — which can only mean good things.
