Description:
“What It Is” sees Little Milton diving fully into funk territory, riding a syncopated bassline and clavinet groove that echoes the influence of Curtis Mayfield and The Meters. His vocal delivery is sharp and rhythmic, reflecting mid-’70s trends while keeping his blues roots intact.
Its tight funk rhythm and bold horn stabs have made it a sleeper favorite for breakbeat DJs and funk collectors. Portions of “What It Is” were sampled by Redman and MF DOOM in unreleased sessions, and the track’s main riff has surfaced in funk compilations such as Funky Blues Masters Vol. 2.
Each record is meticulously cleaned and stored separately in a brand new polyligned inner sleeve, paired with its cover in a protective outer sleeve. All orders are shipped in designated heavy-duty vinyl shipping cartons, sealed with premium quality PVC tape and clearly marked as Fragile Vinyl Records to ensure safe passage to your door.
