William Earl better known as Bootsy Collins is back. Bootsy new CD The Funk Capitol Of Tha World will be released April 26, 2011. This CD has a wide range of artists that will appeal to the young and old. Some of the artists Bootsy has featured on his CD are Ice Cube one of my favorites. He is on the song “Hip Hop @ Funk U“. Bootsy has a tribute to the late great God Father of Soul James brown, with the Reverend Al Sharpton talking about how James Brown changed the beat of music. For all you Latin music
lovers he has Olvido Ruiz and Quiwey singing “Siento Bombo”. The actor Samuel L. Jackson is speaking on the song “After These Messages”. Bootsy
also has a song on the CD “The Jazz Greats” featuring George Duke and Ron Carter. George Clinton is featured on the song “Garry Shider Tribute”.
Garry Shider was the original guitarist and musical director of the P-Funk All-Stars he was the guy who wore the diaper, he past on June 16, 2010. Bootsy has a funky song “The Real Deal” featuring Shelia E, CandiSweetz and Mike Phillips. These are some of my picks for the songs that I can’t wait to here in full when the CD is released on April 26, 2011 Bootsy Collins is back giving his fans the Bootsy flavor. You can hear some of it on Streetwise Radio.

Mint Condition is an R&B male soul group that I have liked since they came out in the 1980’s. In 1991Mint Condition’s “Breakin’ My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes)” from the Meant to be Mint album stayed on the charts for 34 weeks making R&B top 5 and the Pop top 10 this is one of my favorites.
Mint Condition just kept on putting out hits. In 1993 From the Mint Factory album had three hits single “U Send Me Swingin”, “Someone to Love” and “So Fine” these songs made it to the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs
Chart. Just when I thought Mint Condition would not top “Breakin My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes) they did “What Kind Of Man Would I Be”? from the Definition of a Band album released in 1996 was a hit. It made it to the number two R&B chart and number seven on the Pop chart; it stayed on the
R&B charts for 41 weeks. Mint Condition has been around since the 1980’s that is due to them having all the original members except for keyboardist Keri Lewis. Mint Condition is celebrating their 20th anniversary as a band
this year. “7” is Mint Conditions new album released on April 5th 2011 featuring hit single “Caught My Eye” and also “Not My Daddy” collaboration with Kelly Price. I am so excited that Mint Condition is still bringing their fans the hits. With their R&B, Funk, Latin, Jamaican and Jazz sound.
You can hear Mint Condition on Streetwise Radio.
