intro
The Cheeba Cheeba Kid highlights drum legend Idris Muhammad's influence on jazz, funk & soul — from hitmaking rhythm on songs with Fats Domino and Roberta Flack to his boiling groove with jazz giants Lonnie Smith and Grant Green. Bilal laments a life defined by "The Dollar" over a hypnotic Black Milk beat, and Montreal's Full Course drops their modern vintage cut "Reality Check". Plus nasty funk production on Georgia Anne Muldrow's "Personal", a deft Steely Dan/Patrice Rushen matchup by DJ Day, and pure sultry sweetness from Orgone's "Anticipating".

I love this radiostation!!!!
Thank you for your work and your attitude to this. This is a huge thing to do!
Peace:)
always iam searching for cheeba shows...again and again wonderful sounds!!! thank you so much
Amerigo to start the show, and the second Cheeba set is superb! Thank you for this moment.
I've always wanted Down Here on the Ground played at my funeral -- song is so on-point, Grant Green and Idris tear it up, the vibes at the end are the ascension. Groove on, Mr. Muhammed! Big thanks to Cheeba for crash course on his history!
@max: Try searching for just "polyptichal". You should get his soundcloud page and the song is there. Not sure why google doesn't see it!
My Facebook share button doesn't work when i want to share one song within a playlist. Other than that, I am fine :-) Thought I'd let you know. Keep it up Wefunk easily the best place to get inspired. Peace
"polyptichal altering the balance" not even on google? XD
Wefunk all day everyday!!!
Thx from a HK umbrella!
