New Orleans-based future funk act Naughty Professor has just announced a run of dates, which includes a headlining show in New York City on Thursday, March 23rd at American Beauty. With the release of 2016’s In The Flesh, the group catapulted into the spotlight, garnering the respect from fellow Big Easy musicians and acts such as George Porter Jr., The Revivalists, Galactic, and Rebirth Brass Band (purchase tickets here).
Naughty Professor ft. David Shaw (The Revivalists) “Stray”:
The release of the single “Stray,” which features David Shaw, lead singer of The Revivalists, further cemented the respect of their NOLA brethren, as the 6-piece group combines complex compositions with the ability to improvise and take things to another level. Elements of the group’s jazz influence can easily be heard, but those futuristic funky stylings are what make any Naughty Professor show a good ol’ fashioned party!
Yesterday, the group shared the hot new single “Darker Daze” which features Jurassic 5 MC Chali 2na and NOLA-based vocalist/guitarist Dexter Gilmore. The track is the second single released off Naughty Professor and Chali 2na’s fortchcoming collaborative album, Identity, which is set to be released in 2017. The album will feature special guest spots from Ivan Neville (Dumpstaphunk), Benny Bloom (Lettuce), Mike Dillon, members of The Soul Rebels, and more.
