"Free your mind... and your ass will follow." With One Nation Under a Groove, Funkadelic, led by the visionary George Clinton, dropped one of the most iconic and politically charged funk albums of all time. Released in 1978, this record fused psychedelic rock, deep funk grooves, and Afro-futurist philosophy, becoming both a party-starter and a cultural manifesto.
The album marked a turning point for the band, balancing their raw, chaotic energy with tighter production and irresistible hooks. Its title track became Funkadelic’s biggest hit, rallying a generation with its unifying message and dancefloor magnetism.
