THE SON OF G-FUNK: ROGER TROUTMAN II


You may already know the legendary Roger Troutman: a founder of the G-funk music genre, lead singer of Zapp, or (for all the kids reading) the guy singing on Tupac's, "California Love".

But you probably haven't heard about his son, Roger Troutman II.

Roger Troutman II, or Roger Troutman Jr., did his best to follow in his dad's monstrous funk footsteps. Using the old Pop's studio, including the infamous Troutman "talk box" vocoder, Roger Troutman II released a G-funk album called "The Second Coming." Unfortunately, Roger Troutman II unexpectedly passed away in 2003, taking the last of the Troutman funk sounds with him. Don't sleep on the legends!

BONUS VIDEO: Skip to the end to hear the Roger Troutman Sr. in studio without his legendary talk box. His voice really wasn't that crackin without it!
