Reggie B and Inkswell Masterpiece, Funk-infused Soul Meets Boom Bap Grooves in a Collaboration Decades in the Making
Two forces in the music world, internationally renowned producer Inkswel and legendary singer,
songwriter, and producer Reggie B, are set to make waves once again with their upcoming release,
God’s Way. Released under the revered Wonder Wax label, helmed by iconic DJ Spinna, God’s Way
is an eclectic fusion of hip-hop soul, P-funk, and a homage to the unmistakable Minneapolis sound,
crafted as a love letter to timeless grooves and cutting-edge production.
A Reunion of Visionaries
Inkswel and Reggie B have been sonic innovators in their own right for years, each leaving an
indelible mark on the music landscape. Inkswel, known for his genre-bending approach to
production, has collaborated with artists like Talib Kweli, Amp Fiddler, Moodymann, Lee Scratch
Perry, Steve Spacek, Georgia Ann Muldrow, and Danielle Moore of Crazy P. His signature style,
merging futuristic beats with nostalgic warmth, has been showcased at premier events across the
globe, including Rich Medina's Dante’s Hi-Fi in Miami, Los Angeles' Motown Mondays, The Pawn
Shop in Dubai, and Bradley Zero's Rhythm Section Party in London.
Reggie B, with a career spanning collaborations with the likes of Dam Funk, Diplo, Marco Polo,
Onra, Juicy J, and Star Slinger, has established himself as a powerhouse in the funk and soul
communities. His work has reverberated through legendary events such as Los Angeles’ Low End
Theory and Dam Funk’s Funkmosphere Party. With his unparalleled songwriting prowess and P
funk inspired production, Reggie B consistently pushes the boundaries of modern soul music.
The duo’s musical chemistry first came to light in 2011 with their underground anthem, She Likes
Techno, released on Amsterdam soul icon KC The Funkaholic’s Boogie Bash imprint. The track was
embraced by tastemakers and DJs, becoming a cult classic in global underground music circles.
Now, after over a decade since their last major collaboration, Inkswel and Reggie B reunite with
God’s Way, their first full-length release as a duo, poised to make a lasting impact on the sonic
landscape.
A Journey Through Sound
God’s Way is more than just a collaboration—it’s a convergence of two creative forces at the height
of their powers. Both Inkswel and Reggie B share production duties on the EP, crafting a seamless
blend of their signature styles. Inkswel’s boom bap soul sensibilities lay a rhythmic foundation for
Reggie B’s P-funk inspired songwriting, channeling the essence of legendary influences like George
Clinton, J Dilla, and Prince. The Ep is garnished with additional guitar flair from Jeremy Toy aka
Leonard Charles (known for his work with Guilty Simpson & Indie rock outfit Ladyhawke).
Listeners can expect a sonic journey that moves effortlessly between genres. The EP opens with
infectious grooves, layering lush synths, tight drums, and soulful melodies, taking listeners on a ride
through intergalactic funk landscapes and heartfelt soul anthems. The record is as much a tribute to
the sounds of the past as it is a glimpse into the future, combining classic elements of funk, soul,
and hip-hop with modern production techniques.
From head-nodding, beat-driven tracks that recall hip-hop’s golden era, to shimmering, atmospheric
cuts that nod to Minneapolis funk royalty, God’s Way is an ambitious and artfully crafted project
that stands at the intersection of multiple genres. Whether you're a fan of the raw energy of P-funk
or the introspective lyricism of neo-soul, this EP offers something for every listener.
