Well, that’s not all they do. 4 the past week they’ve been cutting basic trax 4 their as yet untitled debut album. With [[Prince]] producing and handling the keyboard & guitar duties, the set promises 2 b picking up right where [[Judith Hill]]’s [[Album: Back In Time|BACK IN TIME]] left off. These brothas murder the funk! Normally they wouldn’t let a track out until it’s finished, but this one had 2 go! It was ruining everybody’s good loox. If U think U can resist the funk, check out the key change of [[MonoNeon|Mono]]’s bass solo at near 4 oclockmark. Exactly."''</blockquote> | <blockquote>''"You may recognize [[Kirk Johnson|Kirk A Johnson]] on drums, [[MonoNeon|Mono Neon]] on bass and [[Adrian Crutchfield]] on sax and electric woodwinds as the house band 4 [[Prince]]’s [[Paisley Park Studios|Paisley Park]] After Dark Jam Sessions.
