Exodus is a 1995 album by the New Power Generation. While their previous album, Goldnigga was more hip-hop oriented, Exodus is more of a pure funk offering, strongly influenced by the sound of Parliament and P-Funk. Although the tracklist boasts 21 tracks, many of them are narrative segues, leaving only 9 actual songs. Of those 9, two are instrumentals. The album spawned 3 singles, however only one was released in the U.S. This album still downplays Prince's involvement in the band, with "Tora Tora" handling most of the lead vocals. Prince adopts the persona of "Tora Tora", whose face is covered with a red veil. Prince also is clearly present on many of the spoken segues, although sometimes using a disguised accent.
