Just as I do everyday, I was scouring the web this past January and found a remix project pitting Funky DL against Amy Winehouse. The UK rapper-producer apparently found time to chop the hell out of the British songstress’s tracks to create Back to Frank, a solid free album full of smooth rhymes and beats. And, personally, it would have been fine if Funky stopped there. But he didn’t as he went on to craft Back to Rap, which features Funky sampling Winehouse’s Back to Black LP. The project features a slew of guests and more of that old school, suave sound we have come to expect from the Funky one.

Zach and I had our concerns with this project. We feared it would just be sloppily thrown together mash-up record, which isn’t a crazy fear considering that stuff happens regularly. It turns out UK MC Funky DL wasn’t messing around with Back To Frank, which features him spitting over chopped up Amy Winehouse samples. To be precise, all the samples come from her stellar debut, Frank. And across this free album, you can expect plenty of smooth rhymes over funky-to-somber beats. Enjoy and let us know your thoughts. Also, props to The Find Mag for bringing this to my attention!
