He'll cook the books, he'll keep it tight, so sign your name on that dotted line Got W2's, 10-99's So let the playa play Dbone Funk Amazing Dbone Funk Bananza Dbone Funk Amazing Dbone Funk Bananza Dbone Funk Amazing Dbone Funk Bananza Dbone Funk Amazing Dbone Funk Bananza (Enchilada Funk) Hit you with that phantom power. Make the ladies scream and holla. But you feel safe cause he got that CPA. So if your body yearns, for that full tax return. Ain't no Turbo, ain't no Block, that can make it this damn hot. If you got proof, then he got proof, then he'll know just what to do. If you got proof, then he got proof, then he'll know just what to do. He'll cook the books, he'll keep it tight, so sign your name on that dotted line Got W2's, 10-99's So let the playa play.

about

This album is the culmination of Honey Made's Creative journey. The band’s journey from their early days with the critically acclaimed album “Brand New” to the present has been a continuous quest to find their unique sound. With “Charge It to the Band Fund,” they’ve hit the mark by creating music that is fun, experimental, raw, and fresh. This EP captures their take on the Soul/R&B/Fusion genre that sets them apart and places them in a league of their own.

The title of the new record, “Charge It to the Band Fund,” pays homage to the gritty, unyielding spirit of the 90s and ‘00s southern Hip-Hop era. It is also reflective of the tumultuous world of the music industry, Honey Made explains, “All musicians know that during your journey in this industry everything doesn’t always go as planned. You get Ws, but you damn sure are gonna catch plenty of L’s. Don’t let that stop you. Charge those hits to the game and keep rolling. Get stronger. Keep kicking ass.”

It consists of seven tracks of original music that is stacked with outstanding songs. The EP is an embodiment of their relentless spirit and anthem of the band’s resilience. Within the 7 songs include the critically acclaimed radio edit of the single “Upstairs.” Wrapped in 60s soul and surf rock vibes the song outlines the complexities of dating, and has been featured on AAA stations across the country and in rotation with SIRIUS XMs The Loft. “Ashy Pockets (My Mode)” is the band’s remix of the original song that first appeared on “Couple Few” and blends G-Funk and Metal influences, it was the song’s executive producer’s John Ryan suggestion that led to the remix, which breathed new life into the song. “FYC” is inspired by Dave Chappelle’s famous Charlie Murphy, Rick James stories, and offers the band’s perspective on the famous phrase “F*** Yo Couch.” An impromptu jam created “DFA,” a tribute to trombonist Donald McDaniel. The band says, “ This song is dedicated to the hardest working man in the biz. We felt he was so gangsta that he needed his own theme song. Dbone Funk Amazing.” And “Love It” is about fatherhood, the band comments, “As a band of men we realized that there aren’t enough songs that highlight the joy of fatherhood. We had to make it an anthem. Do ya thang daddy!”
