Project: Funk Da World (RSD 25)

Presented for Record Store Day 2025 in an opaque orchid-coloured vinyl pressing, Craig Mack’s 1994 debut release Project: Funk Da World rocked the world when first released, primarily due to the powerful lead single “Flava In Ya Ear,” which was certified platinum by the RIAA.

The full-length album also received a plaque when certified gold within months of release, with its second single, “Get Down,” also achieving gold status. Unfortunately, Mack’s success was overshadowed by labelmate The Notorious B.I.G.’s Ready To Die, which dropped just a week ahead of Project: Funk Da World.

In retrospect, the world certainly has space to recognize two legends, as Get On Down presents this seminal recording in a never-before-seen opaque orchid-coloured vinyl issue, exclusively for Record Store Day 2025.
