The Original 7ven — “#Trendin'” (from Condensate) — #Trendin - Condensate

For reasons that, thus far, all involved continue to talk around rather than about, Prince has stubbornly barred his former farm-team-slash-proteges from using the name The Time, under which this band recorded four classic funk albums throughout the ’80s.
