A lethal fusion of G-Funk and R\u0026amp;B, this self-titled album was first released on Rollin Record Enterprises in 1997. After having dropped their first single on Capitol in 1996 and being shelved right after, band-leader Derrick Shaw had the plan to start over his i.f.A project independently. With roots in and around Oakland, East Palo Alto and Stockton, it was only a matter of time before these musical minds would meet to form their own \"Family Affair.\" Derrick Shaw aka D-SHOOT was a vocalist and musician with a well-known band called Kashmir before he met the self-dubbed Godfather. After an introduction on the basket-ball court, the two became friends and immediately went to work flushing out many of D.'s musical concepts. Produced by D-Shoot and Ivan Johnson this LP is loaded with rapping and singing backed with smoothed-out instrumentals that gives off that \"laid-back\/bumping\" vibe with that \"something for the ladies\". \"It's so different you can't help but like it. We will appeal to a wider fan base because we're not trying to sound like every other act coming out.\" - D-Shoot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Rollin \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Throw Ya Hands Up \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Gee's Get Lonely 2 \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Do U Wanna Ride \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Bustas \u003cbr\u003e1.6 I Like \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Off Da Hook \u003cbr\u003e1.8 You Need a \"G\" \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Slide \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Og Funk \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Family Affair\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"i.f.A.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32556917555271,"sku":"40859828","price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3857006-2601202_74f8179c-feb6-476d-896f-6141f67e4dba.jpg?v=1711714992","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/i-f-a-international-family-affair","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
