Funk is the best genre ever (aside from new-age Yanni/Enya shit). Bronx River Parkway (Truth and Soul records) is a New York revivalist funk outfit from Brooklyn. Incredible grooves, beats, and chops. They killed it at the Wax Poetics release party last Spring.

I picked up their first 7" (on the Latin Express imprint of Soul Fire records - of Sharon Jones fame) on a whim during a weekend crate-diggin jaunt to NYC back in 2004. Both sides [download below] have gotten so much rotation I had to pick up another copy.
