Fog in the Mystline - Nujabes Tribute - Marcus D

Funky DL pays tribute to the legendary hip-hop sounds of J Dilla and Nujabes by recreating their famous songs on this 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.

VERSE 1 
Yeah… 
Chuck a deuce to the cold 
‘Cause your dude trying to go 
Where degrees never freeze 
Sixty two be the low... 
...and the winters are tame 
All I want for Christmas is some tickets baring my name 
Rather chill where it’s warm I’ll provide the cool 
Not a flake in range whole sky is blue 
Big sis scooped the fam where we riding too 
She replies we can do whatever you tryin’ to do 
Bet that. Out here snow never a set back 
Plan to have an early winter tan when I get back 
(Ehh!) 
Strictly chillin in the figurative sense 
Plus I caught a whiff of an open grill by the fence 
Some may assume it’s May or June ‘cause the feelings immense 
Hipped your dude a year or two ago been missing it since 
Now I swap my winter coat for a White Tee 
Cup of hot cocoa switched with some Iced Tea 
Shaping up nicely… 

HOOK 
Not quite Summer fam 
But this a different type of winter wonderland 
And almost 80 degrees 
Inside evergreen outside there's palm trees 
And it feels kind of ill 
The smell of winter been replaced by a grill 
Don't get no better 
Hottest christmas ever on record and we out’chea! 

VERSE 2 
No skull hats, long jawns or Timb boots 
Just sweats, short sleeve tops & gym shoes 
F! a snowman & snowballs I’m so gone 
Coppin’ snowcones or hitting up Coldstone 
Might even call home to rub it in a bit 
They like “Young, you so wrong… you know that you ain’t sh…” 
I’m like aww man, come on you could made the trip 
But ya didn’t so long we bout to hit the strip 
Bout to dip with the windows down feelin the breeze 
Feel like Spring but there’s Christmas lights still in the trees 
Feel at ease... couldn’t wait for winter break, see 
Did it right to ensure that winter didn’t break me 
Looking like we waited for this moment all year 
Smiles all around ‘cause the fam’s all here 
No one or cloud throwing shade, all clear 
Egg Nog in the cooler it’s normally all beer. 
Aww yeah! 

HOOK 

BRIDGE 
Back home it’s so cold, 
More of the same is lame and so old 
So I’m rollin’ (where the skyline’s blue) 
And golden, (so much more to do) 
Head to the backyard or the park 
Grill to the sun go down and it’s dark 
Then the next morning, (watch the kids open gifts) 
I’m soaring (Nothing quite like this) 

HOOK 

OUTRO 
Orlando we see you 
Miami we see you 
Honolulu we see you 
San Diego we see you 
LA we see you 
Phoenix we see you 
Tuscon we see you 
New Orleans we see you

lyrics
HOOK 
What you gonna do? What you gonna change 
Try something new or remain the same? 
Will you follow thru or give up like a lame? 
Time to start again. 90 RPMs 
(Repeat 1x) 

VERSE 1 
Trying to better myself every year but falling short 
Should do it for growth but i focus on cheers I long support 
Probably should cut back on all of the beers that I had bought 
Lessen my eff-ups and get some clearer-minded thoughts 
Clearly, I am fault but hear me, I’m a sport 
That’s making some new resolutions I fear or all for naught 
Smeared what I’ve been taught. Steering toward folk 
On the road to perdition, frontier of all the lost 

HOOK 

VERSE 2 
She wanna be ready for beaches, that’s why she barely be eating 
Depriving her body of anything Godly impressing these heathens 
Any new diet she find on a blog she pledging allegiance 
Get any smaller and she will dissolve, what is the reason 
Blind like a venetian, crying from all of the teasing 
This ain’t attack on a titan she fighting her inner demons 
Trying to pick up the pieces, finding what she’s been seeking 
Promise to finally love her true self... ‘Tis the season 

HOOK 

VERSE 3 
(Some people be like) 
I will quit smoking, I will tweet less, work out more 
Manage my debt, manage my stress, play a new sport 
Volunteer, travel abroad, even recycle 
Learn to knit, get a good job, study my bible 
Go on more dates, meet some new people, try not to boast 
Get laid, get married, probably both 
Fix up my home, have a baby, get a new hobby 
Read a lot more, hang outdoors, other guys be 
Like “This is the year to put it in gear and soar 
Can’t tell you what’s different but listen this isn’t the year before 
Cause I had a vision of living a life that meant much more 
Taking a chance to dance at the top won’t be ignore 
I ain’t ever stopping, failure ain’t a option 
Said to hell with caution, walk the trail no talking 
Principles to live by, no more resolutions 
Excuses replaced by fruitful execution
