Song of the Day: Big Mello - Wegonfunkwitchomind…
This is a brief one. I’ve been wanting to write a long piece about this album (and artist) for the better part of the year, but I never got around to it because I don’t have that much to say other than the album is excellent and it’s unfortunate that Big Mello never got the marketing he needed when he was here with us.
That said, listening to the album repeatedly kinda reminded me of my first few encounters with ‘The Chronic’ and ‘Doggystyle’. G-Funk is my 2nd or 3rd favorite sub-genre of rap and it never occurred to me that folks outside Cali were making GOOD G-Funk back in the day. I was pleasantly surprised to discover this album earlier this year.
So while I may not have written that piece, the album has at least inspired the first installment in the year-end series I’m kicking off tomorrow. That’s a win. RIP Big Mello.
Stay-tuned…
