Boulevards, also known as Jamil Rashad, returns with Carolina Funk: Barn Burner On Tobacco Road. Teaming up with funk producer Sergio Rios (Orgone, Say she she, Neal Francis). Taking notes from rare funk records and blaxploitation, Carolina Funk: Barn Burner on Tobacco Road is a raw, muddy, infectious, live testament to the funk with infectious hooks, syncopated basslines, tight drums and classic horns that bring a punchy and soulful element.

Thank you God for giving me the strength to create again. The journey has been long and rigorous. Thanks to George Fontaine, Jr. from New West / Normaltown for believing in me and my art; I know taking risks isn't easy. Big thanks to my family for their support and showing me love even though things have grown slowly. Thank you to my partner for staying by me and loving unconditionally while I worked long hours on this album; I know it can be a challenge, I LOVE YOU. Thank you to Nick, Blake, and JJ for sharing your gifts and allowing me to paint my vision. Thanks to Sergio Rios for taking a risk and helping me create my vision; I hope the long hours and days will pay off in the end. Thanks to Adrian Quesada for making time to mix the album; I know you’re always busy and I’m forever grateful.
