Current mood:  adventurous
Shablo is working on a next level project with one of the best mc's from Detroit : Derrick Harvey aka Dank from the infamous duo Frank N' Dank .
If you like the Detroit sound U'LL NEED to listen to this s**t!Kid Sublime from Amsterdam is helping on the productions too, and i tell u ... it's somenthing new!!!! Detroit to Amsterdam ... with the blessing of Dilla's proteges ... competition is none doe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And if you still don't know Frank N' Dank , now you know : When youre the protégés of arguably the most sought after hip hop
producer not named Pharrell or Kanye (read: Jay Dilla) the stakes is
high. Over the last four years, global rap enthusiasts have reached
orgasm via Detroit-bred Frank and Dank 12 singles. Thats not debatable.
But whats their formula? Well, for starters, theyre uninhibited like
Paris Hilton on them bootleg love tapes, but in the musical sense. Yep,
theres a reason their Take Dem Clothes Off (ABB) single generated
international DJ and chart accolades without a video or CD release.
Two, youll never ever hear F&D rhyme over throwaway beats cause
Dillas got their back and genuine hip hop heads need to be kept happy.
Legions of rap purists from the USA to Ukraine continually jones for
the piles of Jay Dilla-produced Frank and Dank 12 singles; from
Everybody Get Up (Fat Beats), Love Is A Thing of The Past (Fat Beats),
Push (Groove Attack), and UK group Spaceks Eve remix, to the b-side
track Move from Dillas anthemic NWA re-tool Fuck the Police.
Three, undeniable rhyme chemistry built up over 20 years of friendship
sure as hell dont hurt on the mic. Pause from Jay Dillas popular 2001
Beat Generation series album Welcome 2 Detroit perfectly demonstrates
why Frank is the Yin, to Danks Yang. And lastly, because F&D rhyme
about female attraction (often) and clandestine street activities
(honestly), they tend to get respect from the thugs who buy 50 Cent or
Jay-Z records. Unlike the growing legions of emcees who boast about
their hood exploitsfrom their 25 room house in Forest HillsF&D have
always come off as credible slum correspondents, laying out the
template for future Detroit player/hustler-cum-emcees looking to get
over.
With their Mcnasty Filth single (featured on Jaylibs Champion Sound)
presently scorching video airwaves, by most accounts, X-tended Play is
the album that will place them on the cusp of mainstream acceptance,
much like their friends and former school classmates T3 (Slum Village)
and Proof (D12). X-tended Play will mutate F&D from underground 12
legends into overground heat-seeking rap chart movers. Two-way your
peeps cause resistance to one of Detroits finest musical exports is
futile.
