Mothership: The Decatur Connection is a collaborative project between funk legend, George Clinton, and hip-hop artist, Aleon Craft. This is the first time George Clinton (of Parliament Funkadelic) has linked up with a hip-hop artist for a complete, new project. George Clinton recorded to 3 new records for the project, however, Mothership: The Decatur Connection consists of elements from… Aleon Craft’s Mothership Decatur (2011 Mixtape), the Parliament-Funkedelic catalog and original recordings from both Aleon Craft and George Clinton.

Paul Forrest & Justin Padron, SMKA-affiliates, are the chief producers behind the project and were tasked with taking all of the pieces from Craft and Clinton and creating something unique that reflected their style and vision. Mothership: The Decatur Connection is an exciting mash-up project combining two very different artists, both with an exceptional creative process. The project is presented by SMKA & Funkprobosci.com.

Craft’s 2011 project, Mothership Decatur, paid homage to Parliament’s 1975 release, Mothership Connection, fusing southern hip-hop and funk into his own brand of music called, Solar-Hop. P-Funk, one of the most sampled groups in hip-hop history, has amazingly never seen most of the money generated from sampling due to copyright (sample) trolls and questionable legal representatives. After discussing the project in more detail both artists felt that this would be a perfect opportunity to create a unique project, and possibly help P-Funk and hundreds of other funk artists in their constant fight with copyright infringement.

George Clinton is currently engaged in major court cases that could critically impact the future of copyright laws for the entire music industry, as well as motion pictures and related media.

Aleon Craft & George Clinton – “Places To Fly” off Mothership: The Decatur Connection (12/20)

SMKA — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 16:38:28 +0000

Mothership: The Decatur Connection is being released during a crucial time in the legal process. With less than a week away from the project release (12/20) we launched the #savefunk campaign to help raise awareness for George’s ongoing legal battles. “I worked my entire career to make music, and I trusted that established companies and some top level industry executives would not lie, steal or cheat… Most lawsuits are just about money, this one’s about what’s FUNKIN’ right!” says Clinton. Parliment-Funkadelic has been sampled over 1000 times, and are used in some of hip-hop’s most popular songs. Clinton, and many other funk artists, have been the victim of copyright (sample) trolls and questionable legal representatives. We hope that in a shot period of time Clinton will find justice for the first time in many years.

[Album] The Roots – Undun

SMKA — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 02:07:12 +0000

The Roots have been one of my favorite groups for a very long time… and Black Thought is one of my favorite MCs. Its seems that no matter what is going on in music trends The Roots put out unique and (dare I say) timeless music. For the most part you can put in a Roots album and let it play all the way through.

I wanted to post this simply to help get out great music.

[Album] Senor Kaos – The Kaos Effect

SMKA — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 17:33:08 +0000

In support of our friend and ATL MC, we give you…The Kaos Effect

BUY HERE

The time has finally come for Atlanta emcee Señor Kaos to release his highly anticipated album via indy label High Water Music. The LP entitled The Kaos Effect shares the same name as Kaos’ website (thekaoseffect.com) which was created in 2007 as a way to connect with fans.

“The Kaos Effect album is a snap shot of my life from the years 2000 through 2010. Throughout the listeners journey you will hear stories about my trails and tribulations of becoming an artist, quitting my job to follow my passion, starting my own company, making money, losing money, traveling the world, getting evicted, and dealing with the death of a fellow solider and friend,” says Kaos.

“The title The Kaos Effect describes all the small pieces I’ve collected over a decade which now have been put together to create a great puzzle. A lot of people know me for different things. Some know me because of my website, or the Blogs, while others know me strictly through my marketing related work, and some only know me for my popular interviews with Hip Hop artists like (Ghostface, Pharoahe Monch, B.O.B., DJ Clark Kent, Little Brother, Wale, Game, etc.). So the overall goal of this record, is for me to share a piece of my story with the world so they can understand why people call Señor Kaos The Most Interesting MC In The World.”
