Big Smoke got the call at 11PM to cover a last-minute session at The Velvet Room. He rolled in with The Slow Burners, a full bottle of brown liquor, and a promise: “Ain’t nobody leavin’ ‘til we put nine hours of grown-folk funk on tape.”
The session laid down basslines so greasy the engineer had to mop the floor between takes. Bobby Flame Sr. called it the sweatiest—and funkiest—session of 1973.
🎧 Perfect for:
Long study sessions, all-day vibes, background groove for grown-folk business, that moment when you forgot to clock out.
💬 Big Smoke’s mic drop:
“Big Smoke here—lock in and let it ride. 9 hours of funk. 0 hours of excuses.”
