Trouble Funk is an influential American funk band hailing from the heart of the Washington, D.C. music scene. Formed in the late 1970s, this ensemble became a prominent figure in the rise of the city's unique funk subgenre known as go-go. The group was central to defining go-go's infectious rhythm and sound, characterized by a potent mix of funk, R&B, hip-hop, and a continuous groove that relies heavily on live percussion and audience interaction.

The band, with its vibrant and dynamic stage shows, has consistently captivated audiences around the world. They have an extensive discography, which includes a blend of studio and live performances that showcase their raw and unfiltered energy. Signature hits like "Drop the Bomb" and "Pump Me Up" are crowd favorites and remain influential in the broader hip-hop community, having been sampled by artists across genres. With their recent releases such as "New Year's Eve (Live)" and "Big Tony & Trouble Funk (Live at DC City Winery)," Trouble Funk continues to embody the spirit of go-go, bringing the experience of their live performances to both new and enduring fans of the genre.
