Los Angeles rapper and cultural force Jay Worthy steps into a new era with the release of his latest single and video alongside funk pioneer George Clinton and singer-songwriter Leven Kali. Crafted with help from Parliament-Funkadelic members, the song arrives with an alternate version in the form of a music video, bridging generations of West Coast rap and psychedelic funk.

 

 

The release sets the stage for Worthy’s long-awaited debut solo album, Once Upon A Time, a double album presented in two parts. The first chapter arrives September 26 via Empire, with the second installment to follow soon after. The collaboration follows last year’s project with G-Funk icon Dam-Funk, which cemented Worthy’s deep ties to funk lineage and set the tone for this next chapter.

With his vivid West Coast storytelling, Clinton’s timeless funk spirit, and Kali’s smooth R&B touch, the collaboration underscores Worthy’s ability to move seamlessly between hip-hop tradition and cultural innovation.
