On “Keep It Funkin,” XL Middleton delivers a modern take on the sound of 1990’s g-funk, the sound perfected by producers such as Dr. Dre, Warren G, DJ Quik, and Battlecat. Instead of resorting to outdated “gangsta” lyrical cliches, XL keeps the focus on the relentless funk of the instrumental, allowing a generous peppering of vocoder (performed by Middleton himself) to serve as the only vocals heard on the track. This single release is designed to whet the appetites of modern funksters as XL prepares a full length EP, to be released 2014. All visuals by Diamond Ortiz.
