Respected Hip-Hop maestro, Funky DL, innovatively came correct for 2010 with 'Back To Frank', a piece of Amy Winehouse-inspired audio alchemy. The project came about after a conversation with UK Hip-Hop legend, MCD (Silent Eclipse), from which MCD suggested ideas for DL to expand his appeal to audiences that would appreciate his trademark jazz sound. MCD suggested he use an Amy hook. A cautious DL took his advice and came up with 'Kicked To The Curb', sampling Amy Winehouse's 'You Sent Me Flying' and after this initial foray, DL never looked back, turning the whole thing into an album project based around Amy Winehouse’s debut album ‘Frank’… The interplay between DL's rhymes and the blissful musical backdrops including Amy's distinctive voice, meshes together some of the finest hip-hop / jazz in the game.

Apparently Funky DL had enough beats to turn this into a full album but felt that could be a possibility later on down the line. This project should nicely tie listeners over until Funky DL's next album entitled "NANE" drops in either late 2012 or early 2013 (to which there is a snippet of the track "I'm a Beast" included once you download the full "samples Stevie Wonder" EP ) Funky DL has remained one of the most consistent artists to do it in hip-hop, with quality release after quality release, and this EP is no exception. Look out for the 2 bonus tracks... firstly the "Rocky Balboa" inspired "Only Just a Matter of Time feat. Louise Bagan sampling from Bill Conti's "Going the Distance"... and the soulful "Another Girl (Gods Other Daughter)" featuring Dyanna Fearon and sampling "Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions "The Girl I Find".
