RETURN OF THE FUNKY MAN

Return Of The Funky Man is the second album by New York legend Lord Finesse.
Originally released in 1992, this album was highly anticipated after his debut on the
scene just a few years prior. Having already established himself as a punch-line king
capable of humorous storytelling, Return of the Funky Man cemented Finesse as a
top-notch producer. Tracks such as "Fat for the 90s" and "I Like My Girls With A
Boom" showed the Funky Man truly living up to his name, both on the mic and behind
the boards. After the gruff-voiced "Lord Finesse Intro", the album goes on a nonstop
journey of witty wordplay over genre-defining boom bap beats. Along for this ride,
Finesse brings D.I.T.C. brethren Showbiz and Diamond D on the production side
(plus Aladdin & SLJ) while AG and (at the time) newcomer Percee P share mic
duties. Topically, Finesse doesn't stray too far from reminding us why he's earned the
title The Funky Man. Whether it's bragging and boasting, or breaking down females,
he has a way of doing it with a tongue-in-cheek type way that is sure to have you
letting out a laugh or two every couple of lines. He possesses that rare quality of being
a solo MC that is capable of entertaining throughout the entire hour plus listening
experience. Standout tracks such as "Yes You May", "Stop Sweating the Next Man",
and "Party Over Here" all show why this album was instantly praised by fans and

critics alike.
