Artist Statement
“I remember hearing George Clinton's "Atomic Dog" as a kid, but I didn't really become hip to P-Funk (Parliament and Funkadelic) until the late 80's, and early 90's.

Clinton's P-Funk inspired the West Coast G-Funk sound, and his influence can be heard all over the N.W.A family tree of Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Ice Cube as well as contemporaries like Ice-T, Digital Underground, Tupac, De La Soul, Public Enemy, Notorious BIG, Wu-Tang and many more.
