“There once was a funk, jazz and hip-hop band from Ann Arbor, Michigan, called Funktelligence. Funktell, who I've jammed once so far and will surely jam again, was fantastic and won regional awards, but dispersed before getting further. I had the privilege of experiencing their incredible live show a few times in the late '90s. Emcees Jax and IX Lives relocated to L.A. where they hooked up with Haircut (seen at 1:09 - now better known as Grammy nominated Stone's Throw recording artist, Mayer Hawthorne) and released a couple of killer albums, the first of which includes this feelgood gem.”
