Starship Mantis is a funk/jazz band born in Pittsburgh, raised to the stars, and dedicated to making you move. Their debut album ‘Trapped In The 9th Dimension’ just hit all streaming services and is also available in physical copies. Their sound is a amalgamation of a myriad of genres and influences, part Hiatus Kiayote, part Weather Report, part Prince and The Revolution and part Grover Washington Jr. all held together by dark matter and all the other intergalactic universal forces that bind this space-age band to the modern world.

Sam Wade @SamWadeInTheWa ‘Hunter’ EP
“Dedicated to one of many wild times in my life, and the biggest influence on my artistic vision. The world lost a very special when Hunter Thompson passed and the whole arming yourself to the teeth philosophy is definitely a core principle. Not sure if Hunter would like new R&B and pop tracks but you can’t please everybody.”

George Clinton Retires From Touring Because He “Funked Too Hard”
Funk icon George Clinton 77, recently had a pacemaker put in and has to retire from touring. This wont stop the legend as he maintains he will continue producing and just recently released a new Parliament single featuring Scarface & Mudbone titled “I’m Gon Make U Sick O’Me”
“I’m going to miss just doing it [touring],” Clinton said in an interview with HipHopDX. “I’ve been practicing letting the band do it though and directing but I’m going to have fun still producing the albums and keeping the concepts going. They got the new fresh energy and they’ve been killing it for the last two years. I feel good, I feel safe. I have to do it. I got the pacemaker put in, so I have to pace myself anyway [laughs].”
