Do For Love / Second Fonk [7"]

Wa Yo Set - Do For Love / Second Fonk [7"]

Wa Yo Set, an instrumental hip-jazz band from the streets of Osaka, has launched its own independent label, YELLO LAB, and presents its first 7-inch single in some time. Side A features an exquisite instrumental cover of 2Pac's major hip-hop classic "Do for Love," which boldly samples Bobby Caldwell's AOR classic "What You Won't Do for Love." It is a superb track filled with respect for the original, and is recommended not only for DJs but also for MCs and rappers. On the flip side is the original track "Second Fonk," which takes an approach inspired by New Orleans funk. This mid-tempo instrumental beautifully highlights each member's individuality while maintaining a pleasing urban cohesion. On both sides, you can experience where Wa Yo Set stands today, having grown considerably both as a band and as musicians. The band plans to continue releasing music steadily and consistently, one track at a time and at their own pace. We hope you'll look forward to Wa Yo Set's "now" and "what's to come" while listening to this release. [ARTIST INFORMATION] Born on the streets of Osaka.
