Title: Zapp – Zapp (Zapp & Roger)
Year/Genre: 1980, Funk
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

1. Zapp emerged from Dayton, Ohio’s dense late-1970s funk community, which also produced acts tied to the wider Parliament-Funkadelic orbit.

2. Produced with heavy involvement from Bootsy Collins, the album cemented Roger Troutman’s talk box as a visual and sonic signature in live shows and videos.

3. Its riffs and keyboard lines became core source material for West Coast hip-hop, especially 1990s G-funk producers who reintroduced Zapp to a new generation of listeners.
