This page is a tribute of sorts, to a legendary Dj and her unrivaled funk night. Every Wednesday for over a decade, people would pack themselves into a dingy cramped club to hear the rarest grooves and gritty funk tracks from decades past. Breakers would clear circles and sweat out the stresses of the day, beat junkies basking in soulful rhythms, their ears tweaking, recognizing breaks sampled in classic hip hop jams.
Mo'Gravy dishes up a hot collection of funk, soul, breaks, hip hop, and rare grooves from back in the day. Many people do not realize how much of the music they love has been sampled from songs written decades ago. I get my kicks sharing music with everyone that I meet. This gravy is bass heavy, and best served loud.
