Before his untimely death last year, Wayman Tisdale was ready to show the world a completely different side, one that was 12 years in making. With a not-so-hidden love of funk music, The Fonk Record featuring Tiz & The Fonkie Planetarians was a true passion project for Wayman. This digital DJ promo features five of the album's eleven all-original songs, including "Let's Ride," a collaboration featuring George Duke, who wields his magic dukey stick on some hard-charging synthesizer solos, while Tisdale channels his best Larry Blackmon of Cameo, and "This Fonk Is 4U" with the unmistakable vocals of George Clinton.
