Judging by the excerpted lyric, 🎙 BLK ODYSSY is not talking about the music style, funk, on 🎵 “FUNKENTOLOGY”. Instead, the Texas musician is referencing sex, sex, sex.  He is NOT thinking with his ear but rather his pants, specifically his… you can fill in the ellipse for yourself.  Even if “FUNKENTOLOGY” is more about pleasure, it is, indeed, a pleasure to listen to. The production work (Sam Houston) is to die for – stunning.  The vocals, are also a vibe, giving off quite the contemporary soul aesthetic. Of course, it is the sexual innuendo that is the most lit.

Despite drowning, the cure for BLK ODYSSY is touch.  What kind of touch? See the chorus: “Let me stick this funk in your veins / May I freak your nasty membrane? / Feels so good, gon’ funk with your brain / ‘Cause I just want a Funkentology.” Hmm, nasty membrane, huh? The bridge yields some intriguing lyrics as well, where BLK ODYSSY informs us, “I smell the love of a little white nun / Just a little off the top / You know you know me from the block / I-I could give you what I got.” We will leave it at that, folks! The big takeaway is BLK ODYSSY is horny, and his 🎵 “FUNKENTOLOGY” involves a different sort of bass 🍑 if you catch my drift 🤤.
