A bold declaration that a seemingly abandoned genre has been reborn, Cymone is redefining his space in the Funkmosphere (in much the same way he and his earliest collaborator Prince did with The Minneapolis Sound). Cymone once again breaks new ground with his own style of bass playing, as a colorful character known as The Funk Forecaster guides listeners through a journey into the world of Funk. With all songs written, performed and played by Cymone himself, this collection of tracks is as musically pure and concentrated as it gets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/andre-cymone-on-deck-to-resurrect-that-funk\/about:blank\" seamless=\"\" data-rocket-lazyload=\"fitvidscompatible\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/track=1162836195\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\"><a href=\"https:\/\/andrecymone.bandcamp.com\/track\/the-revolutions-on-yo-in-0-net\">The Revolution\u2019s On Yo In \u201c0\u201d Net by Andr\u00e9 Cymone<\/a><\/iframe><noscript><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/track=1162836195\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/andrecymone.bandcamp.com\/track\/the-revolutions-on-yo-in-0-net\">The Revolution\u2019s On Yo In \u201c0\u201d Net by Andr\u00e9 Cymone<\/a><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For Andre Cymone, funk is a language he never stopped speaking. It is breath, motion, and memory. It is human music, learned early and lived fully. The Resurrection of Funk arrives not as nostalgia or revivalism, but as response to the present moment. To cultural amnesia, and to the growing distance between music and the people who make it. Protest music does not need to be dour to be effective; joy, movement, and celebration lift spirits and restore resolve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The record is deeply tied to Minneapolis; not just as geography, but as ethos. There is a direct line from the city\u2019s history of unrest and organizing to the music that emerged from it. Community centers, neighborhood bands, and shared cultural spaces weren\u2019t accidents; they were responses. Funk, in this context, becomes protest without bitterness, resistance without despair. It is joy as strategy. Dance as defiance. Release as fuel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Long before the world had language for \u201cThe Minneapolis Sound\u201d, Cymone was already shaping it. Before the name, it was lived reality; his childhood home doubled as a gathering place for artists, activists, hustlers, musicians, and organizers. Civil rights leaders met on the stairs. Funk records spun in the background.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When Cymone and Prince first met as young musicians, they were equals who had finally encountered their match. Each came armed with curiosity, discipline, and an instinct for sound beyond convention. Their first band, Grand Central, emerged from a convergence of two multi-instrumentalists pushing their instruments past expected roles. Cymone\u2019s bass lines were melodic, assertive, and compositional; Prince\u2019s keyboards and guitar work were exploratory and disruptive. Together, they built a new sonic architecture: The Minneapolis Sound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now, with The Resurrection of Funk, Cymone arrives at a moment of reckoning; personal, cultural, and musical. For the first time in his solo career, he fully embraces the sound he helped give birth to, not as revival, but as reclamation. Playing every instrument himself, with no guest musicians and no AI involvement, he asserts the irreplaceable value of human intelligence in music. This is the music originally forged in his mother\u2019s basement recontextualized, reaffirmed, and delivered with intent. The sound that underpins modern music while being routinely misunderstood. Cymone is explicit about his role here; not out of ego, but out of clarity. He is one of the architects of this sound, and this record is about placing that architecture back in view, in full context, where it belongs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">ABOUT ANDRE CYMONE:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Andre Cymone\u2019s imprint is deeply embedded in the early records and stage performances that introduced the Minneapolis sound to the world. His contributions shaped not only Prince\u2019s earliest solo releases, but also the DNA of the bands that followed. (In On Time: A Princely Life in Funk, Morris Day directly acknowledges Cymone\u2019s role, recalling a conversation with Prince in which he notes how many of Cymone\u2019s bass lines became essential components of those compositions.)<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<a title=\"Hip-Hop hats, buckets, snapbacks, beanies.\" href=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/shop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-64516 size-full\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/hip-hop-hats.jpg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-64516 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/hip-hop-hats.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Cymone\u2019s early solo records embraced New Wave and futurism at a time when no Black artist was expected (or encouraged) to do so. Livin\u2019 in the New Wave and Survivin\u2019 in the 80s developed a cult following, earning retrospective recognition as statements of artistic freedom. His next evolution came through songwriting and production. Writing and producing for artists including Jody Watley, Evelyn Champagne King, Tina Turner, Adam Ant, James Ingram, and others, he found a different kind of freedom in channeling originality through others\u2019 voices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">After a 27-year hiatus from solo releases, Cymone once again defied expectations, returning not with funk but with two critically acclaimed rock albums: The Stone and 1969. Even then, the throughline remained clear: he was following the muse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Resurrection of Funk arrives as the music industry enters an era of synthetic replication, where artificial intelligence threatens to blur creativity into imitation. Playing every instrument himself, with no guest musicians and no AI involvement, he asserts the irreplaceable value of human intelligence in music. Funk, in his hands, becomes proof of life. Over the years, watching funk flattened into an aesthetic clarified something essential for Cymone. Funk is not a costume. It is craft, discipline, groove, and intent. It is lived experience translated into rhythm.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<a
