Reggie B & The Solution (can we post enough about how badass these guys are?) and the Deep Thinkers (Leonard DStroy and MC Brother of Moses) are getting down at the Record Bar on Thursday, August 30th for Last Thursdays "Get Down", a somewhat new monthly event hosted by Reggie and his family of funk phenoms. Deep Thinkers should be expected to perform music from their more...

Sounds of Blackness, Barry White, Raja-Nee, Grand Jury and Lo-Key round out just a handful of names that Kansas City's Kevin Pierce has collaborated with during his ongoing tenure as one of the more respected guitarists in KC's funk and r&b scenes. From witnessing the "one man band" producer explosion and record labels' coinciding fear of signing full bands to now rocking more...

With recent collaborations alongside the likes of Diplo, Star Slinger, Onra and others within recent months, and upcoming projects with even more such as New York rap God, Rakim, DJ Spinna and more, Reggie B’s voice, production and instrumentation have been felt and heard around the world. Backed by a five piece band, not including himself on keys and vocals, more...

If you're just another person in KC trying to make a "documentary" on local music/hip hop and you're not at this show, you might want to reconsider your mission statement, or just quit entirely. I believe the picture above was shot by one Jeremy McConnell (Editor of Flavor Pak), circa the Golden Era. Pictured left to right are J Lee, Taha and Joc Max. Coming along more...

Yesterday afternoon, my sister and I had the privilege of cruising up to Reggie B & The Solution's rehearsal space off Benton. Though it was the first time I'd been East of Prospect in quite a while, it was all good in the hood as the sunshine had everyone in a groovy mood. Reggie banged our heads out with some new, top secret music collaborations and beats more...

Our good friend and one of our favorite musicians on Earth right now, Reggie B, recently had a house fire at his home in Kansas City, MO. Apparently, most of the upstairs was destroyed. But hell, high water nor fire is going to hold him and his band down. Tonight, Reggie B and The Solution will be bringing their own fiery funk demonstration with Kansas City-based more...

KC-based beatmaker, Dan Matic, just dropped a new EP today titled Round Numbers, in affiliation with Outer Peoples and Footclan. One of the seven tracks on here actually features Reggie B and HeaVi (of the Solution) on instrumentation, marking at least the second time Reggie and his compadres have collaborated with Matic (click HERE for what we believe to be the more...

This is the moment we've been waiting for over here at the Demencha HQ for several months. UK-based, 2011 production MVP, Star Slinger, and Kansas City-based soul/r&b artist, Reggie B, announced today that their song is out. And shockingly, it's a free download (GET IT HERE). We're going to take a wild guess that there might be some remixes in the works down the more...

We probably should've held off from using the word "rager" to best describe any event in KC this summer...until now. This is reported to be Mac Lethal's only show in Kansas City for all of 2011 and it's going down tomorrow night at Riot Room in Westport KCMO. Rising KC independent hip hop icons, Ces Cru, and the funk spectacle known as Reggie B & The Solution will more...
