American-Japanese "Modern Funk" Duo Kay-Bee & KzyBoost Join Forces for We Came 2 Bring You Da Funk (The Sleepers RecordZ)
Kay-Bee & KzyBoost is an American-Japanese Modern Funk duo, who are preparing to release their full-length debut, We Came 2 Bring You Da Funk, on Barcelona-based label, The Sleepers RecordZ. Alan "Kidboogie" Castro Leal (Kay-Bee) is a professional dancer and musician hailing from Pasadena, Los Angeles, California, who released an album called A TOAST TO THE BOOGIE on The Sleepers RecordZ in 2017; while Kazuya Sakamoto (KzyBoost) is a musician, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, who adds "the spicy Japanese Funk touch coming from Osaka." Earlier this year, Kay-Bee & KzyBoost first joined forces for their Funktastic 7-inch and digital single, "We Came to Bring You The Funk" B/W "Feel Da Funk" on Ivan Makvel's The Sleepers RecordZ. Obviously, it was a wild success and now, Kay-Bee & KzyBoost have joined forces once more for an 8-track EP named after the aforementioned single, We Came 2 Bring You Da Funk. Ivan from The Sleepers RecordZ, actually, sent me a handy-dandy EPK for We Came 2 Bring You Da Funk just the other day and man, is this one Hell of a fun-loving, Funk-oozing affair! Below, you'll see a short video of "The Great @firebac dancing to "Feel Da Funk"' from Kay-Bee (@kidboogiemgf) & KzyBoost (@kzyboost)'s We Came 2 Bring You Da Funk now available on @thesleepersrecordz.
Kay-Bee & KzyBoost have together concocted a rather unique blend of Classic & Modern Funk, G-Funk, Hip-Hop, R&B, Soul, Funk, etc. with sonic allusions throughout to 7 Days of Funk, Chromeo, Funkadelic, The Gap Band, Parliament, Prince & The Revolution, Mark Ronson, Tuxedo, and ZAPP. While KzyBoost & Kay-Bee split the majority of the musical/production duties throughout We Came 2 Bring You Da Funk, there are a few note-worthy guests on the album including: Snoop Dogg producer Dr. Evo providing synth-bass & bass guitar on opener "Feel Da Funk," Fingazz contributing guitar on "I Keep It Funky" and Talk Box, lyrics & voice on "Cruise Control," and Moniquea adding sultry vocals & lyrics on "Good Time," as well as Ivan Makvel (MOOD RIDERS) serving as Executive Producer. Kay-Bee & KzyBoost's We Came 2 Bring You Da Funk is currently available to stream on The Sleepers RecordZ's Bandcamp page. LIMITED EDITION VINYL LP and LIMITED EDITION LP/7-inch Bundle packages, as well as standard digital album download, are currently available for pre-order. We Came 2 Bring You Da Funk will be released world-wide on Thursday, October 18, 2018 and pre-order packages are expected to ship by or before October 25th.
