G&D, a creative and spiritual fOnkadelic husband and wife duo, Georgia Anne Muldrow and Dudley Perkins, have released a special edition 7-inch vinyl through their own label, SomeOthaShip Connect. The A-side features "PopStopper," which BrooklynVegan described as a "gem" and the B-side features "Muthadear," which honors the intuition of heart, soul and flesh that is the mother figure.
