In 1989,a band emergedout of the South Bronx bringing a new sound that combinedelements of Rock,Funk,Jazz,Reggae and Rap.This would becomethe foundation many a band would stand on!!In the process,they also helped to shatter the stereotypes and dispel themyth that"Black Bands Don't Rock!!Following in the pathslaid down by Jimi Hendrix,P-Funk,Mandrill,Bad Brains andcountless others,how could they not?????After releasingsix cds:Harder Than You(1989),Gumbo Millennium(1990),Thisis 24-7 SPYZ(1991),Strength In Numbers(1992),TemporarilyDisconnected(1994),"6"(1995-European Release)and HeavyMetal Soul By The Pound(1996-U.S. Release)-much to the dismay of the fans worldwide-they disbanded in 1997.Jimi needed to take a much needed rest:He produced allsix of the Spyz cds as well as being the primary songwriter(along with bassist,Rick Skatore.)Not to mention,non-stoptouring around the world for almost 8 years!!!Well,vacationtime is over!!!This CD finds Jimi ready to rock as only hecan!!Jimi plays all the instruments on the CD:Guitar,Bass,Drums,Keyboards and last,but not least,Vocals!With guest appearances from Turbo B of SNAP!,D.J.Rocking Rob and Renell"Ladybug" Richardson,the party is on and rocking!
