One of the best funk records ever recorded didn't come from Motown, King, Chess, or Stax. Edge of Daybreak's Eyes of Love was recorded in Powhatan Correctional Center in State Farm, Virginia, in less than five hours and one take for each song. Jamal Jahal Nubi, Harry Coleman, James Carrington, Cornelius Cade, McEvoy Robinson, and Willie Williamske made up the group and created an album that has stood the test of time for almost 40 years.
In the space of just over six months, hip-hop lost two of its biggest stars to murder. Neither of the cases has ever been solved, and the LAPD has outright stonewalled the investigation at times.

The film comes to theaters September 7, 2018.

Warmer than a shirt but not as heavy as a down coat, the Fjällräven Canada Wool Padded Jacket is the perfect layer to any winter wardrobe. The mid-weight flannel is made from recycled wool and padded by Lavalan — an insulation made from Swedish wool that's been blended with corn starch fibers. It features a classic lumberjack check pattern with snap closures and G-1000 Eco reinforcement on the shoulders, elbows, and pocket flap for added durability. Wear it alone on mild autumn days, or layer it up when the winter temps start to drop.

Whoever can uncover the card's whereabouts will earn themselves free Vollebak clothing for life.
