Zapp is the debut studio album by the American funk band Zapp, released on July 28, 1980 by Warner Bros. The album's style was highly similar to c, as the band was working with and being mentored by both Parliament members William Earl "Bootsy" Collins and George Clinton during the album's production. The album was produced by Zapp frontman Roger Troutman and Bootsy. The Troutman family of the Zapp band had close ties with the Collins family, both being Ohio natives  . Living for the City".

Compilation: Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 & More collects Zapp's lesser-known singles and album tracks like "Play Some Blues" and "It Doesn't Really Matter," adding four rare songs from Roger Troutman, including the then-newly recorded cover of Stevie Wonder's "Living for the City" and his contributions to the soundtrack of A Thin Line Between Love and Hate. Though there aren't any hits on Greatest Hits 2, the album does a good job of collecting all of the highlights from Zapp's frequently uneven albums.

Zapp, unlike the other P-Funk units, had their own personality divorced from George Clinton, so much so a listener might not get the connection unless they read the album notes. While both Zapp and Roger had enough hits to make separate greatest hits compilations, All the Greatest Hits works well due to the song inclusions and the level of skill. Zapp's first hit, "More Bounce to the Ounce" with it's hard-hitting funk with jazzy underpinnings, set the template

Living For the City Lyrics. A boy is born in hard time Mississippi Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty His parents give him love and affection To keep him strong moving in the right direction Living just enough, just enough for the city. About Living For the City. Wonder tells the life story of a black man living in Mississippi during the Civil Rights era. The man has seen the hardships faced by his family, but doesn’t allow that to discourage him and his future, so aspires to leave his hometown for opportunity in the promised land of New York City. As he becomes an adult, he moves away to New York, but just gets caught up in a different system of inequality that imprisons him and leaves him homeless, jobless, and sick. Living for the City by Roger Troutman. Living For The City by Ramsey Lewis. Innervisions Stevie Wonder.
