Coming July 31: Matador Records and No Mayo Records are proud to announce the release of The Funky Precedent Vol. 2, featuring emerging hip hop DJs, soul artists and producers from the Bay Area. Like its predecessor, The Funky Precedent Volume 1 (released in 1999 on No Mayo / Loosegroove), FPV2 shines a light on artists who are shaking up the hip-hop scene from the inside out. While FPV1 showcased groups from Los Angeles’ underground community such as Jurassic 5, Black Eyed Peas, Ozomatli and Dilated Peoples, FPV2 is focused on the massive creative energy erupting from San Francisco, Oakland and the greater Bay Area. FPV2 is 15 tracks of hip-hop, soul and turntablism, featuring over fifty MC’s, dj’s and producers including Planet Asia, Rasco, Zion I, Foreign Legion, Live Human, Encore, Protest, Fanatik, DJ Vinroc, DJ Quest and Pep Love.

Consistent with The Funky Precedent series and No Mayo’s stated purpose, proceeds from this release will support music education at Mission High School in San Francisco, Freemont High School and Manchester Elementary in Los Angeles, CA.

A double A-side 12" featuring Zion I’s "We Got It and Skhool Yard’s "Here We Come" will be released on June 26.
