James Brown was a legend that lives on through his music and the movements that emerged using his sound as a foundation and a stepping stone. There has never been another James Brown, and there will never be another James Brown, yet his existence enabled the coming of Hip-Hop and Bboy culture, as well as many genres of music.
Bboysounds salutes James Brown and gives the utmost respect to the man and those around him that made Hip-Hop and Bboying possible.
As you enjoy this music and material, please take a moment to reflect and respect the Godfather of the music we love.
James Joseph Brown (May 3, 1933 – December 25, 2006)
