Hip-Hop producer Funky DL thought there’s no better way to start the year than to take it right back, and has spent the past month in the lab remaking all the beats for his debut album “Classic Was The Day”, which was originally released 17 years ago in 1997.
Being that no instrumental version of the album previously existed (due to the original publishing company discarding of the DAT tapes just after the album was made), DL had to go back to each piece of vinyl and source the originals for each track. But this gave him the perfect opportunity to go one step further and add flips of some of the breaks from other sections of the original records, which were not used for the vocal version release.
This album should carry huge amounts of nostalgia for Funky DL fans but still has the ability 17 years after the fact, to grab the avid hip-hop listener into playing these joints over and over again.
