Ultra-Boogie Highlife is the debut album by American hip-hop artist/producer Funkghost. It was released on March 31, 2000 [1] on his own independent imprint at the time Slopfunkdust Recordings. The album failed commercially (only 20,000 copies were pressed on its initial run back in early 2000) but was praised by critics [2]. The album is now considered a hard-to-find cult classic [3][4].
The album cover artwork features The Real World: New Orleans former reality TV star Melissa Howard. Howard was ranked #92 on Maxim's "Hot 100 Women of 2004"[5] and later starred on Oxygen Channel's Girls Behaving Badly. The LP was reissued digitally in 2009 on Grand Extravagant Ent.
