The Seattle hip-hop scene has been abuzz with the work of rising star Ronnue and his stylish brand of alternative funk this season, and it doesn’t take much more than a single listen of his latest release, the Introduction 2 Retro-Funk LP, to understand what all of the hype has been about. Ronnue pummels us with gritty grooves in “You Tried Me (The Man’s Anthem),” singles “Be Your Freak” and “Something About U (The Retro-Funk Mix)” and deep cuts like the colorful slow jam “In Love,” and even though most of the music here has, as the title implies, an old school feel, Introduction 2 Retro-Funk is anything but an exhibition in throwback culture.
There are a lot of soul influences in songs like “In Love” and the twisty “Why (feat. Figuz),” but by and large, this album is a loud, proud eruption of funk. “If We Stayed 2gether” follows a brief parental advisory intro in “Rated M.A.” and gets the tracklist cooking with some fierce beats and a tenacious bassline that will extend into “Be Your Freak” without missing a step. Other than the intro and the brief skit-intermission at track 9 (“Bathroom vs. Studio”), Introduction 2 Retro-Funk is all content and no filler from the second we drop the needle to the moment that the music disappears into the ethers.
