Down & Dirty by Bull Funk Zoo
The concept behind this album, although I do not consider it a “concept album”, is its pure form of honesty, rawness, self-expression and the subconscious reality of everyday to day life. What is it that your subconscious emotions tell your conscious self/mind? How do you feel? Why do you not always express it openly? Do you see your political correctness as a valid long-term point of view? Or is it a façade? Is the truth you speak accepted with open arms or is it frowned upon? Are you surrounded by superficiality? Are you part of that reality? Do you taste and feel lust? Do you hear the virtual world you live in? Does your profile picture speak to the world of who you really are? How have your values changed? Where do you stand today? Have you considered you’re opportunities within all the chaos, are you risk taker? What scares you? These are messages
I’m depicting in ‘Down & Dirty’ and on the other side of the coin, the reality is, well at least in my opinion, so you keep falling, failing with something that you believe in, “who cares” what other’s see you as. It is how you see yourself, how you develop yourself and how you pick yourself up. The best learning experiences you will have are from your mistakes. keep believing in yourself and ignore the noise. What are you meant to do in this world? If you have not discovered what you are meant to do, it will be your incredible adventure on doing so, and keep on discovering without any self-doubt.
The music sounds like a big bad bull having sex and stomping the blues to rubble!
