Fat Cat Ffonz

This cat has a thing for jazz and its related bastard children. This cat does not spin what people want him to spin. This cat will only play his favourite records for your listening pleasure. When thinking of this Fat Cat, think Thelonious Monk, Kool G Rap, 4hero, Madlib, U-Roy, Dr. Octagon, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Roy Ayers, Arthur Russel, Pharaoh Sanders, Airto Moreira and felines of that ilk.
