Taken from the official press release…
Produced by CHEW FU, #1 SPOT features J-CAST’S rock-driven vocals and lyrical stylings,SUBSTANTIAL’S ferocious multi-tempo flow, and the legendary BOOTSY COLLINS on bass and additional vocals . #1 SPOTepitomizes our concept of Future-Perfect music by fusing into a singular hotness, the best elements of all our favorite genres from Hip-Hop, Rock, Soul, and Dance to Electronic and Funk,” says Youngstar mbc founding principal, JOHN FRAZIER. “The fusion of genres and the extremely high level of musicianship exhibited on #1 SPOT lets you know that FANOMM is all about the music,” says J-CAST, “a point made clear by our name.”SUBSTANTIAL continues, “When we were trying to come up with a name our collective response was, we’re all about the music, F#ck A Name…and a name was born. F.A.NOMM is French for F#ck a Name.”
