Wait no more! The full length album from The Mighty Heard is here and it's chocked full of tasty licks, blissful grooves and lyrics about the world today from Growroom Productions' first flagship act. WORD!
Containing some of the best live band hip hop, neo soul, raw funk and stone groove classics this side of Mars, WORD is sure to please any music connoisseur. Wah-wah guitars, funky horns, soulful vocals, pocket percussion, and a hip hop swagger meld perfectly to create the Mid-Atlantic funk sound of The Mighty Heard. Their chemistry became apparent from downbeat in 2003 and was honed over years of local and regional touring, appearing at the DC area's highest regarded live music establishments and outdoor festivals, until life and professions took them on different paths in 2012. Luckily for music fans across the globe, their album was already fully recorded.
We released 'Still High b/w Karma' last year and the songs on WORD pick up where those left off, showcasing the tight grooves of the band and the lyrical skills of Terry T and Dullah D. 'Butt that Funk' kicks off the party, letting the audience know how it's gonna go down, bringing "Nothin but the FUNK, man!" Modern love songs 'Be Wit U,' 'Deep' and 'Walk Away' show the full range of relationships with the head nodding backbeat of Pete Rock mixed with Frankie Beverly & Maze. 'Karma,' 'How Many Kids' and 'Bad Things' bring real street stories to life in full vivid, and upsetting, color, immersing the listener in life battling Black problems a la golden era hip hop legends Mobb Deep, Main Source, and Wu-Tang Clan. 'Do Whatchu Gotta Do,' 'Opportunity,' 'Got No Time' and 'Y'all Don't Know' bring it back to the straight raw funk party bangers that got crowds on The Mighty Heard's side in their numerous sweat drenched performances.
Since 10 years has passed between the recording of these tunes and this release you might think it would sound dated, but The Mighty Heard made timeless music and it shows. This is not a genre meld or a trend catcher. This is the real deal of new and enduring music made by professionals who pushed their way through into their own territory, creating the sound known as Mid-Atlantic FUNK.
