But unlike the shiny suit era that would follow, Project: Funk Da World was dark, bass-heavy, and raw.

The album's second single, which utilized a driving sample of James Brown's "The Payback." It showcased Mack's ability to carry a track with pure cadence and rhythmic pocket. craig mack project funk da world zip top
