American-Japanese "Modern Funk" Duo Kay-Bee & KzyBoost Join Forces for We Came 2 Bring You Da Funk (The Sleepers RecordZ)

Kay-Bee & KzyBoost is an American-Japanese Modern Funk duo, who are preparing to release their full-length debut, We Came 2 Bring You Da Funk, on Barcelona-based label, The Sleepers RecordZ. Alan "Kidboogie" Castro Leal (Kay-Bee) is a professional dancer and musician hailing from Pasadena, Los Angeles, California, who released an album called A TOAST TO THE BOOGIE on The Sleepers RecordZ in 2017; while Kazuya Sakamoto (KzyBoost) is a musician, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, who adds "the spicy Japanese Funk touch coming from Osaka." Earlier this year, Kay-Bee & KzyBoost first joined forces for their Funktastic 7-inch and digital single, "We Came to Bring You The Funk" B/W "Feel Da Funk" on Ivan Makvel's The Sleepers RecordZ. Obviously, it was a wild success and now, Kay-Bee & KzyBoost have joined forces once more for an 8-track EP named after the aforementioned single, We Came 2 Bring You Da Funk. Ivan from The Sleepers RecordZ, actually, sent me a handy-dandy EPK for We Came 2 Bring You Da Funk just the other day and man, is this one Hell of a fun-loving, Funk-oozing affair! Below, you'll see a short video of "The Great @firebac dancing to "Feel Da Funk"' from Kay-Bee (@kidboogiemgf) & KzyBoost (@kzyboost)'s We Came 2 Bring You Da Funk now available on @thesleepersrecordz.

Kay-Bee & KzyBoost have together concocted a rather unique blend of Classic & Modern Funk, G-Funk, Hip-Hop, R&B, Soul, Funk, etc. with sonic allusions throughout to 7 Days of Funk, Chromeo, Funkadelic, The Gap Band, Parliament, Prince & The Revolution, Mark Ronson, Tuxedo, and ZAPP. While KzyBoost & Kay-Bee split the majority of the musical/production duties throughout We Came 2 Bring You Da Funk, there are a few note-worthy guests on the album including: Snoop Dogg producer Dr. Evo providing synth-bass & bass guitar on opener "Feel Da Funk," Fingazz contributing guitar on "I Keep It Funky" and Talk Box, lyrics & voice on "Cruise Control," and Moniquea adding sultry vocals & lyrics on "Good Time," as well as Ivan Makvel (MOOD RIDERS) serving as Executive Producer. Kay-Bee & KzyBoost's We Came 2 Bring You Da Funk is currently available to stream on The Sleepers RecordZ's Bandcamp page. LIMITED EDITION VINYL LP and LIMITED EDITION LP/7-inch Bundle packages, as well as standard digital album download, are currently available for pre-order. We Came 2 Bring You Da Funk will be released world-wide on Thursday, October 18, 2018 and pre-order packages are expected to ship by or before October 25th.

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of...

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra...

Liberty Bell Cracked In 1/2: Ween - "Freedom of '76" (Gene Ween's Final Send-Off)

Chocolate & Cheese (1994) was one of the first albums I bought with my own money. I was in some sort of BMG Music Club , where you'd buy 5 CD's and then get 10 for "FREE." It was all sent through mail order and you picked the titles from some special booklet. I'm almost positive that Chocolate & Cheese's side boob-baring album cover was what initially drew me in... mind you, I was 12-15 and the zany Ween logo/middle finger CD graphic really didn't hurt either. Honestly, I forget how I really felt about it @ the time, but a few years later, my older cousin Josh told me that Ween were this BIG college "jam band." CKY did some sort pf 93.3 radio takeover to promote their new album and played "Freedom of '76" late that night on air. Needless to say, I re-visited Chocolate & Cheese @ about 20-something this go 'round and I fucking loved it! Ween were really weird, yet talented... almost too talented. I can vaguel...
