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...

Jet Planes, Islands, Tigers On a Gold Leash: Lorde - "Royals" (The Weeknd Remixo)

I think it's pretty safe to say that The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) comfortably teeters the fine line between glitched-out smooth New Age R&B and hard-hitting Hip-Hop ; while the same could arguably be said for 16-year-old New Zealand new-comer, Lorde . Her break-out single "Royals" 1/2 jokingly shouts out semi-common bravado-worthy shit like: diamonds, "gold teeth, Grey Goose ... Cadillacs, Cristal, Maybach ... jet planes, islands, [and] tigers on a gold leash." But now, the Lorde/Weeknd connection has been further solidified, as Tesfaye recently managed to conjure up and release his own "Royals" remix. My beautiful girlfriend said earlier, and I paraphrase, that it "makes her wanna dance lol and she could [likely] hear this remix in a future movie!" Following the wide-spread release of her first 2 EP's (Love Club & Tennis Court) , Universal Republic plans to unleash Lorde 's proper debut album, Pure Heroine between ...

Pop Artist & Surfer Chronicle Intriguing Ex-Pornstar In "SASHA GREY."

Seemingly made to co-exist as thought-provoking companion pieces... "LINDSAY LOHAN" directors Richard Phillips & Taylor Steele are back with their most recent Art Presentation, "SASHA GREY." The 90-second short film was shot in early May @ John Lautner Chemosphere House in Los Angeles, CA. Both striking flicks will be shown on a giant floating video screen [ "Commercial Break" ] @ Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Venice, Italy (June 1-5). "Adult acting chops" aside, Sasha (23) seems very intelligent, captivating, free-spirited, business savvy, well-mannered, charming... and dare I say, "average." And I really think that's exactly what Phillips/Steele were trying to convey throughout the course of the piece; Grey's beauty, public draw, sheer likeability, and honesty will surely take her very far in future endeavors... Solidifying her [updated] image as a true "Pop Culture Figure." * Featured soundtra...
