ReplyDeletegoin nuts over here!
These Funky Drummer compilations are great, I'm a big Roots fan and I try to follow other projects they get involved in but still some of these tracks I'd never heard! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThese compilations are great and they show that this man is more than just a drummer he is real hip hop I like the diversity of the artist that he has worked with from just about every genre of music and he did a banging job. I listened to alot of these artist and never knew that he was behind this. Big shout out to you for informing me. By the way great site coming here to your blog is always like going to school or learning about one of my favorite hobbies.
