Today I’m proud to share another restored classic from the archives.
“Power Man” was originally recorded around 2000 by my brother King George at 4100 Studios. This record represents CNG (Cecil & Greenwood)—more than a neighborhood, it was a way of life. From the early ’80s until today, CNG has always stood for loyalty, family, and representing the Red.
King George wasn’t just an artist—he was one of my closest friends. We spent countless hours together recording music, learning studio equipment, and pushing each other to become better engineers and producers. Along with our brother Donta “Dooy Rock” Cox, we worked on the E-MU, MPC 2000, and Mo’ Phatt sound modules, creating music in studios all across Kentucky, including Russ 550, Faderz Up Productions, 4100 Studios, and Willie Will Studio.
We also had opportunities to work with Lil Jay, a talented producer, GT of Too Big Entertainment, and Ray Mass Studio in St. Louis. Every experience helped shape our sound and our journey.
This song was produced by Kenny Wright, who created the unforgettable melody on his grandfather’s piano. Kenny has always had a true passion and gift for music, and I want to thank him for believing in the craft all these years.
This release is dedicated to my brother King George. Your friendship, your music, and the memories we created together will never be forgotten.
We’re also remembering and honoring: 🕊️ Nate 🕊️ Terry “YG” 🕊️ Lil Lee “Black Lee”
CNG Forever. Forever Block. Forever Red. ❤️
Twenty-six years later, this record has been professionally mixed, mastered, preserved, and restored by Faderz Up Productions and Toi “The Real McCoy” Lewis, giving a new generation the chance to hear a piece of Louisville’s music history.
If this song brings back memories, leave a comment and let us know where you were during those days. Thank you for supporting independent music and helping preserve our city’s legacy.
