ATCQ released a new lyric video for "We The People," one of the new tracks off of their new and highly anticipated final album, We Got It From Here, Thank You 4 Your Service. The socially conscious track addresses America's culture of racism and the media that enables it.

California native Diamond Ortiz personifies funk in every way, shape and form. It’s in his blood and pulses through his veins. The 31-year-old grew up playing bass in his family’s band, Diamond Ortiz (named after his parents). According to the Bay Area native, they used to “rock so hard,” they’d start walking on tables as the crowd would go crazy.

Now living in Los Angeles, Ortiz continues to contribute to the resurgence of modern-funk and boogie, and is often mentioned in the same breath as Dam-Funk, Brian Ellis, XL Middleton, and others. Ortiz is preparing to release his first full length LP titled Lovelin
