Tha Liks' J-Ro is nearly finished with the latest tribute to funk pioneer Roger Troutman, an album titled Still More Bounce. Unlike 2000's A Tribute to Roger Troutman, which was mostly a compilation of classics like EPMD's "You Gots To Chill," 2Pac and Dr. Dre's "California Love" and M.C. Breed's "Ain't No Future In Yo' Frontin'" that sampled Roger or his family's band, Zapp, J-Ro's project is the result of a two-year effort to bring as many West Coast MCs together for new tracks inspired by Roger's trademark talk-box sound. Among the artists on board are Daz, Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, Xzibit, Ras Kass, Kam, Tash, B-Real, Spice-1, Tray D, Rappin 4-Tay, Mac Mall and Ice-T. "Roger's music is a part of the backbone of hip-hop, along with James Brown and George Clinton, so I didn't have to think twice about being part of this tribute album," Ice-T said in a released statement. Troutman was gunned down by his brother and Zapp bandmate, Larry, outside of a Dayton, Ohio, recording studio in in April 1999. Still More Bounce will be released April 16 on J-Ro's Wolfpac label.
