Get Down, The Influence Of James Brown (Teaser)

James Brown’s official YouTube Channel unveiled the trailer for Funky Drummer, episode one of new three-episode animated mini-series titled Get Down, The Influence Of James Brown.

Narrated by Questlove, and featuring Lord Finesse and Co-founder/former EIC of Wax Poetics Magazine, Andre Torres, the three-part series was created by UMe along with Dreambear and explores the sonic DNA of James Brown whose music is continually sampled and whose trademark phrasing is deeply woven into the fabric of Hip-Hop. The full episode of Funky Drummer premieres on July 10th with part two (Funky President) and part three (The Payback) coming soon.
