Lonely C

**Lonely C** is a groove-focused artist deeply rooted in the modern funk and soul revival scene, often collaborating with like-minded innovators such as DāM-FunK and Kendra Foster. Operating under the Stones Throw Records umbrella—a label known for its off-kilter yet soulful roster—Lonely C crafts laid-back, synth-driven jams that blend retro-futuristic beats with witty, socially conscious lyricism. Tracks like *Hold Up* (featuring Foster’s velvet vocals) and *Make America Dub Again* showcase his knack for pairing breezy melodies with tongue-in-cheek commentary, all while nodding to classic dub and P-Funk textures.

Though he keeps a relatively low profile, Lonely C’s work—including projects like *Charles & Tribulations* and *The Compass Joint*—positions him as a key player in keeping funk’s legacy alive for the TikTok generation. Whether he’s dropping extended mixes or minimalist dub versions, his music feels like a chilled-out basement party where Parliament-Funkadelic records spin alongside modern analog synths.
