Funky DL pays tribute to the legendary hip-hop sounds of J Dilla and Nujabes by recreating their famous songs on this 18-track deluxe edition of the fantastic album entitled… “February: A Rest In Beats Tribute To The Sounds of J Dilla & Nujabes”.
Working tiresomely in the studio, DL with assistance from some of his musical pals crafted a full studio album paying homage to and celebrating the creative ideas originally brought to hip-hop by both the late James ‘J Dilla’ Yancey and Sebajun ‘Nujabes’ Yamada.
However, DL veers away from intense sampling, avoiding the same breaks as used by Dilla & Nujabes – to bring this fabulously musical, creative and jazzy tribute album.
DL felt it fitting for the album to be named February, being that (coincidently) these two hip-hop legends were both born on February 7th 1974, and sadly passed away in February 2006 and February 2010 respectively.
As Funky DL’s intention was to capture the essence and soulful connection of what they ‘both’ brought to music lovers around the world, DL carefully hand-selected each track from the catalogues of these two legends and crafted as elegant of a representation as he could to showcase a further progression into the wealth of ideas from Dilla and Nujabes; but taking them that one step further and going beyond the usual restrictions of using only the contents of original samples.
This album is certain to bring back the nostalgia of the classics that each track was born from, as well as offering an entirely new audio perspective. The fans of both J Dilla and Nujabes will be pleasantly surprised.
Releases 15 September 2014
Recorded in 2014 between April and July, ‘Summer Ransom’ is the 10th full length release from Chris Shreve’s brainchild Free the Optimus. Mixing a number of tried and true FTO soundscape architects (ILe Flottante, Shep Bryan, Handbook, P.U.R.P.) along with plenty of new connections (Whokairs?, Soul Monk, Dylan Guye) makes for what feels like a new classic in what is already a deep underground catalog. The Professor anchors all 18 tracks with features from Mike L!VE, DJ Jet, Jrusalam, Tuscon, Martin Snoddy and Trapbo’ Chad. The album was mixed and mastered by Whokairs? at his studio in Asheville, NC.
C.Shreve describes Summer Ransom as follows: “A new chapter in the same running dialogue. To Free the Optimus means to unlock your absolute best potential. This FTO installment is both the summer version and the ransom version. I was born in the summer–I want my time. We all want that. I’m claimin mine on some Seinfeld summer of George shit. This is an MC’s album. For rappers of all kinds, I want you to listen and feel some type of way. You either gon say go get em, or feel like i’m questioning your dopeness. And I am. If the shoe fits, y’all should wear it. I’m a true fan of the raw MCs out here doing this. I vibe with y’all in the front row. But that fake shit, that fraudulent garbage, nah man. F@ck you. We’re takin this thing ransom.”

Kyza – ‘Live or Die’ taken from the new album “Hibernation”.
“Hibernation” is the first project that Kyza has undertaken all of the production duties, singing, and general direction to date. After having a very turbulent couple of years away from making music, Kyza has decided to stick his head out of the cave and wave a bear paw to the masses to let them know that after spending time cleaning up and building his cave, he is ready to tell his story, and that time for hibernation is over….
