"Zapp" is the debut album for Ohio P-Funk band "Zapp". It features the popular hit "More Bounce to the Ounce", which was featured in the , and was sampled by EPMD, Snoop Dogg, Notorious B.I.G, Twiztid, Brotha Lynch Hung, and Low Profile. There are six songs in the album which are approximately 6-9 minutes long. "More Bounce to the Ounce" was used by Dr. Dre in the Up In Smoke Tour in memory of Roger Troutman and not long after, he played "California Love" thoughout 1996 in memory of Roger and Tupac. That was Roger Troutman's last hit ever.

The album came out when George Clinton's P-Funk era was toning down. Zapp would prevail as their funk music flourished in the 1980s and the group was mentored by George Clinton and Bootsy Collins. The album went to number one on Billboard's Soul LP chart and was eventually certified gold.

Some of the songs featured in the album like "Be Alright" would later on be sampled by West Coast rappers such as 2Pac in his song Keep Ya Head Up in 1993.
