LA by way of Houston-based singer/producer Seven Davis Jr. debuted his R&B/Funk/house last year with his One EP. He also made his smashed synth-in-a-box version of Prince’s “Controversy” a free download.

Snoop Zilla and Dam Funk work in the studio to create “Do My Thang” from their 7 Days Of Funk album.

“Live Life” is a preview of Andre Cymone’s classic-rock oriented fourth album The Stone. Cymone’s return to music comes years after being Prince’s first bass player, 3 funk albums and co-writing songs with Jody Watley. He supported Barack Obama’s reelection with the song “America” in 2012 and last year he shared a song dedicated to his mother on Twitter. The Stone will be released February 18th through Pledge Music.
