Lloyd Bradley’s book Funk is it’s Own Reward traces funk from its late-‘60s roots until it hands over the baton to hip-hop with the release of ‘Rappers Delight’ in 1979. From ‘Say It Loud – I’m Black and I’m Proud’ to Off The Wall; from the Third Harlem Cultural Festival to the P-Funk Earth Tour: Funk Is Its Own Reward plots the journey of an African American cultural movement that was always about far more than simply music. To celebrate the release, Lloyd is hosting a Funk takeover at the Museum of Youth Culture, with a Q&A, book signings, archival material and spinning vinyl with DJ Fitzroy Soul Survivor.
