"INSTEAD OF LOSING CONTROL OF THE PARTY, THOUGH, FUNKDOOBIEST REMAINS ON TOP THROUGHOUT..."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on a print advert and/or record advert for "The Troubleshooters," the third full-length album by L.A.-based Latin/alternative hip-hop group FUNKDOOBIEST, released under the RCA label in early 1998. The advert was featured in the January '98 issue of "Rap Pages" magazine.

ALBUM OVERVIEW: "There’s something very fresh sounding on “Troubleshooters,” the third album by L.A.’s FUNKDOOBIEST. It could be the relative lack of filler and the DJ Ralph M.’s original approach to samples. The mad, driving swing of the Squirrel Nut Zipper’s “Hell” drives the first single, “Papi Chulo.” They twist around some verses to suit their own purposes on oldies like Bill Withers’ “Just the Two of Us” (to “just Funkdoobiest”) and Diana Ross’ “Theme From Mahogany” (“Doobie knows where you’re going to”).

They bring back the catchy beat and sped-up vocals of Newcleus’ “Jam on It” on the remake “Act on It.” But instead of borrowing the familiar hook from the Tom Tom Club’s “Genius of Love,” they cop its central question: “Whatcha gonna do when you get out of jail?”

The delivery of rapper Sondoobie has a familiar ring — that high, whiny New York wiseacre squawk often associated with CYPRESS HILL. Yet he’s changing the voice a bit too, slowing it down with a deeper voice on a few tracks, yet still switching effortlessly from English to Spanish and back.

There are a lot of voices on “Troubleshooters” though, including Daz from Tha Dogg Pound on “Papi Chulo,” and Hitman, Hurricane G, Tony Touch, MC Fats, and a handful of others.

Instead of losing control of the party, though, Funkdoobiest remains on top throughout “Troubleshooters,” making it the sharpest rap release of the year yet."

-- HARTFORD COURANT, review for FUNKDOOBIEST's "Troubleshooters" (1998) album, published February 12, 1998

Mikey Mike releases Life On Earth Vol.1:

It’s been a long time coming but last Friday, L.A based musician Mikey Mike released his long anticipated debut album “Life On Earth Vol.1.” Shortly after the release he stated on social media that he started the album five years ago and had been signed and dropped from a label during that time. He also shared that he had wrestled with the idea of leaving to “wander the Himalayas” during this period. Fans are thankful he stuck around to release the album; it’s been received with great appreciation and praise from fans and fellow musicians alike. Mikey Mike’s music is fundamentally alternative/ indie but many of his records have a subtle Hip-Hop element to them such as “Doin` Me” which was released in 2017, one of his most popular songs which has gained millions of streams. He has a unique ability to add sharp and comedic wit to his music whilst also delivering an important and impactful message. Adding to his comedic persona, he flooded L.A with billboards bearing his mug-shot with messages such as “Have you seen this man? Owes 2.3 million in child support.” and many others alike. The marketing campaign coincided with the release of his singles “Mikey Likes It” and “Cooler”, he claimed to have received around 25000 calls and some of them even made it onto the album. Individualism is an integral part of the music that Mike creates, not only sonically but also within his personal message. “Life on Earth” and “Strange times” each paint a vivid picture of his perceptions and experiences and are some of the more philosophical tracks on the album. His Peter Pan like character mixes well with his Alan Watts style observations, outwardly and introspectively, in a way that’s been rarely done in music, if at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rWDzLUOreo In his own words: Gigsoup reached out to Mikey Mike to see how it felt to finally have his album out there and this is what he had to say: “It’s been about five years since I started this little window into my life and I’m pumped it’s out there now. I’m hoping people find it entertaining or useful to their own journey.” Judging from feedback through fans he’s achieved just that. In September, Mikey Mike is going on a European tour which has already sold out in London, here are the dates. Monday 16th September – Obaren/ Sturehof, Stockholm, Sweden Wednesday 18th September – Hamburg, Germany Friday 20th September – The Waiting Room, London, UK Sunday 22nd September - Les Nautes, Paris, France Monday 23rd September – Auster Club, Berlin, Germany Wednesday 25th September – Acri Ohibo, Milan, Italy https://open.spotify.com/artist/03TisRLz25RdilInRpqMZj Read the full article

"PRODUCED & MIXED BY DJ MUGGS & DJ LETHAL -- THE FOLLOW-UP TO THE UNDERGROUND HIT, "THE FUNKIEST.""

PIC INFO: Resolution at 1981x2510 -- Spotlight on a record ad for the "Bow Wow Wow” 12-inch single by Los Angeles/Latin/alternative hip-hop group FUNKDOOBIEST, c. 1992, on Immortal Records. Illustration by Glenn Barr.

"Like a good fella, I'm a good speller, Yet I get retarded like Hellen Keller, Take it, I'll kick it, better I'll flick it, Just like a booger, I fuck around with hookers, Like Tina Turner, I'm a fast learner, Earning up my wealth, now I go for self, Like Barney Rubble, who's always in trouble, I'm quick on the double, you'll never see me fumble, Like a quaterback, think I oughta smack, Wack MCs who think they're all of that."

-- "Bow Wow Wow" (1992/'93) by FUNKDOOBIEST

"CHECK YOUR HEAD" WILL ASTONISH EACH AND EVERY CONTEMPORARY MUSIC FAN."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on a press kit and/or promo record advert for American alternative hip-hop group the BEASTIE BOYS then upcoming 3rd studio album, "Check Your Head," jointly released under the Capitol Records/Grand Royal labels in spring 1992.

OVERVIEW: ""Check Your Head," the new record from rap's most innovative trio, will be released April 13th. The follow-up to the BEASTIE BOYS acknowledged masterpiece "Paul's Boutique," "Check Your Head" will astonish each and every contemporary music fan. First off, group members Mike D., MCA, and Ad-Rock have returned to their musical roots -- 70% of the album's music, a stunning array of styles including Funkadelicized fuzz bass riffs, slinky guitar-propelled reggae, and straight-up hardcore punk, is played by the Beasties, seamlessly blended with off-the-wall sampled tidbits. Looping their own dusted-out riffs, the Beastie Boys have taken sampling to its logical conclusion. The self-produced Check Your Head's exploitation of new and old music sources could well be the most radical to date.

"Apart from three diverse instrumentals ("Pow," "Groove Holmes," and "In 3's") that make up the 20 song set, the group gets on the mic to flaunt superior rhyming skills, frantic scratching, and the fattest keyboards this side of Jimmy Smith. Such old-school flavored jams as "Pass The Mic," "Finger Lickin'," and "What'cha Want" shred in an entirely new way, suggesting some unexplored netherland between The Minutemen and Spoonie G; "Time For Livin'," a hardcore punk tune harkening back to the group's Lower End Side origins, sounds as fresh as the Boys' whisper-sung vocals on "Mark On The Bus," the rootsy "Lighten Up," and the acid-soaked "Something's Got To Give." Keep an eye out for the obligatory Biz Markie cameo, "The Biz vs. The Nuge." Each song on Check Your Head speaks volumes. Loudly."

-- "CHECK YOUR HEAD" album press kit, Capitol/Grand Royal Records, January 1992

A track conceived originally on August 25, 2013. I made this track as a reminder that memories are a gift. They are not meant to destroy us, they are meant to motivate us, to keep us going, and to keep us strong. I never shared it, except with a few friends. Found some footage recently from the last trip I took with my mom and created this montage.
