DJ Franchise: Futurized Funk…

Our Bay area big homey DJ Franchise drops off a mixtape in honor of his fallen comrade DJ Matthew Africa he has titled ‘Futurized Funk’…

Widely known for his influential musical presence with B.I.G.’s “Ready to Die”, Easy Mo Bee brought a futurized funk to hip-hop/soul that has not been paralleled. His work with so many greats (Biggie, Busta, Kane, Miles Davis) still demands to be recognized. This mix helps serve that purpose.

Dedicated to and inspired by my good friend, Matthew Africa (RIP)

    Thanks for this… “Warning” is especially un-fuck-withable…

    It’s interesting to compare Mo Bee of this era with the Beatminerz, not competition, just awe what a rich era it was…

    Though I’m still curious about the Biggie and ODB references (parodies? shots?) in the “Sound Bwoy Buriell” video–
