US hip-hop trio Five Fingers Of Funk, also known by the stylized name 5 Fingers of Funk, was founded in 1992 and is based in Portland, Oregon. The band has just released their single ‘We Were Big In The Nineties’
It features an audacious concert recording montage and a new cuivre arrangement based on self-reflective thoughts on the role of heritage and age in the hip-hop players’ games.
The band’s lead singer, Pete Miser, calls Portland’s hip-hop scene “wonderful, but incredibly marginalised.” The group’s members draw inspiration from Bootsy Collins‘ old-school rap and funk music and set themselves apart from one another by creating sounds using instruments rather than sampled vocals.
Talbot Guthrie, a drummer, and Pete Miser came together to establish what was once a group of nine musicians. They eventually grew into a group of ten musicians that performed in venues like La Luna, Satyricon, Roseland Theater, X-Ray Cafe, and Berbati’s Pan.
The completion of a new song has sparked the creative enthusiasm of the entire group.
In a short period of time, new performances were put into motion as a result of a frenzy of collaboration that gave rise to a combination of analogue recordings from the 1990s that were used again and brand-new equipment.
The music ‘We Were Big In The Nineties’ is Hip-Hop style. It is a catchy music with a lot of rhythm, accompanied by different instruments in the background.
Listen and enjoy the new release “We Were Big In The Nineties” by Five Fingers Of Funk!
