IN.
Apologies for missing out on the previous one, though. :(
I only did 2 this week. Catch up 😓
It’s cool, Dag is a strange case because we all heard this band in a scene somewhere in Bad Boys & Boomerang.
But what’s odd is they were on 3 motion pictures with their music. But they didn’t get to be on any of the soundtracks.
The singer does have a vocal tone in certain notes to SOTT and Sly there’s a riot goin on. 😳

“Thank You for Talkin’ to Me, Africa” may be my all-time favourite groove on the entire album, by the way.

Welcome to the drop of the evening. Tonight I present to you a group that has long been defunct. A group that operated in the funk stratosphere on.a major label. Now when I say Funk, I’m not talking like some would with a pop band who had funk tendencies. I’m talking about a band that sounds like they were raised on Sly Stone, Prince, James Brown, Curtis, P-Funk
The group started in 1989 and worked their way in the club circuit in Raleigh. The bassist has a nice vocal tone and a falsetto that delivers for the song’s. The guitar work is solid on rhythm and lead. Keyboardist’s have some skills. The drummer is solid. Dag would have their music in a few film’s Bad Boys & Boomerang (of all places) If you saw those film’s, you heard Dag. There’s lots of cool keyboards/synths, funky drumming, hard ass basslines, these funky liquid wah was guitar sounds.
You might like this if you like:
Prince,P-Funk,JMSN,Isley Bros,Cameo, Slave,Ohio Players, Zapp, The Time, Sly, Rick James, James Brown, Jamiroquai etc
It seems to take a few musical references from Sly There’s a Riot-Fresh and Prince’s Controversy-Dirty Mind-1999-SOTT type sounds. They even use the pitch shifter sound guitar what Prince uses on a few of his most acclaimed work.
This s*** sounds nice on speakers & that’s the drop this evening. A Group called “DAG” I’m sure you will find enough material to be glad that you have this to play for this week’s drop.
It’s hard to believe that Columbia records signed a funk band to their label and let them co-write work that sounds like this. Because the truth is, this was the Grunge invasion and Grunge and G-Funk were in high swing. Funk band’s on major label’s were like unicorn’s in 90’s.
This band is definitely a mood and I hope you like it. That’s Dag and I’ve just covered them for their one & only time on KTT2. One final note, what a waste of space & time to go through all that paperwork to be featured in a film but you don’t get to be on the soundtrack. That’s like being a painter and you offer some work and they don’t put it in the gallery instead they put your work in a hallway nobody goes to. 3 film’s and no soundtrack. That’s the music biz for you.
DAG were:
Bobby Patterson
Brian Dennis
Kenny Soule
Doug Jervey
Kai Russell
Jen Gunderman
See you on the next one, soon

Why are we okay with putting JMSN in the same category as Sly and Prince
Not putting him in the same category, it’s a reference guide. I didn’t say in the title better than. But some fans might like it,

I just wasn't really aware he was making similar music lol last I heard from JMSN he was making knock off Abel core music may have to redig if he's revamped his style

His first few lp’s, I can see where you would say that. But he’s been going to the wah wah & the funky rhythm guitars & the funky drumming.
He could’ve signed to a soul label with this material, Especially the last 3 lp’s. It’s quite a change from The Weeknd s***, there are strings & these Timberlake -esque vocals with a funky live sound. He even has horns on his records. They sound like it was cut live in the studio. His arrangements are surprising. I would’ve never guessed the same person who made Priscilla made this. That should give you an idea of the shift. 😳
this is one of these bands that the label’s were like “omg “
and then they couldn’t do anything with them because the label couldn’t get them to be more rock radio friendly but still one of the best band’s from the 90’s. new drop coming soon 😎
this band is cool. They did a good 2 lp run @tradez401 😎

This my kind of taste. thank you
This band is great
Their music was featured on both boomerang and bad boys. But for some reason they didn’t get to be on the soundtrack. The curse of being a band. i have a post i’m writing about this and why bands are sabotaged in R&B-Soul-Funk
