With popular music today trending towards the 80s, I gotta say I'm concerned about the lack of funky shit finding its way to people's ears. Don't get me wrong, I'm not mad at the electro. I fuck with 808s and MGMT pretty tough. But it's my opinion that the people need a good, healthy dose of somethin you can groove to. I know Jesse feels me. Enter Sa-Ra. Chanelling Funkadelic and Sly Stone, the band's sound combines 70s funk with hip-hop, soul and jazz. "Just Like a Baby", a cover of Sly's classic, is off their sophomore album, Nuclear Evolution: The Age of Love. Available Now. If the name Taz Arnold doesn't ring a bell, please feel free to acquaint yourself with the band's most vocal member.

Ohio Players - "Sweet Sticky Thing"
Over the years, The Ohio Players' Honey has become known as one of the crucial funk albums of the 70s. Revered by artists in hip-hop circles, Honey is a record most music heads have probably come in contact with, in one way or another. Known for their sleek funk sound and controversial covers, the Ohio Players were one of the premier bands of the funk era. "Sweet Sticky Thing" is a jam for the late night. Only appropriate.
