Pete Rock - A Little Soul

Precisely a year and a day from the release of the popular 2012 instrumental album "Too Hard to Beat", Funky DL returns in 2013 with "From Street to Sweet" Instrumentals as the follow up.

The set mirrors it predecessor in comprising of 19 instrumental gems, some of which were previously unheard and unreleased. DL handles the beats on this one supremely well as the album drifts from tracks with harder hitting grooves to progress through the album to a more neo-soulic and smooth selection, but in keeping with a ‘reminiscent of hip-hop’ feel.

Just listening closely will demonstrate that DL takes charge with or without the use of breaks where some selections completely rely on live musician contribution in complement of DL programming and skilful arrangements.

Hip-hop fans all over the world have already been abundantly blessed with "Jazzmatic", DL's FREE onslaught remix project released earlier in 2013, which focusd on bringing to life some of - Queensbridge's King of Hip-hop - Nas' classics in the form of jazz laiden compositions. The project went down incredibly well with hip-hop lovers globally and showcased an already 'more than capable' Funky DL as a producer among the hip-hop realm. The "From Street to Sweet instrumental album however, exemplifies that DL can work outside of the typical sample based format but still keep the rhythmic and melodic gestures that true music lovers can appreciate.

All that's left to be said is, "he did it again"... 

11. Very Special Remix (Instrumental)

16. Nightfall
Produced by DJ MITSU THE BEATS
Lyrics by B.Won, Partizan
Mixed and Mastered by B.Won, Leno, Partizan

Verse 1) B.Won

그저 단순한 삶을 살고 싶지만 
현실이 내게 요구하는 것들과
날 사랑하는 사람들이 나의 휴화산 
같은 성공을 위해 투자한
돈을 위해 소망의 우산을 접을까
아니면 나의 욕구 충족을 위해
순종의 가면을 벗을까, 난 소스라치게 놀라
내 포부를 난 몰라 (nope) 난 왜 여기있는가 (why?)
벌써 이십년 가까이 한길만 걸어왔어
딴길로 새긴 늦었지
잡생각은 접어두려 했지만 맘깊숙히서
스냅백을 쓴 아이의 목소리
You have literally just been enlightened of the fact that 
you can truly complete yourself with the hihats and kick snare
spit your thoughts on this beat, attitude of misfits
your hatred against the world evaporates into thin air.

Verse 2) B.Won

the bestest pair, you and me 
dissolving together, a chemistry
registry of my history
go ahead and take a look, solve the mystery
내가 랩을 사랑하는 이유는 나도 몰라
음절들이 내 혀끝에서 구를때의 짜릿함
그네형이 말한 word play 의 맛도 이제난
즐기고 있어, 마치 cilantro margarita
I reminisce, initial hip hop influence, my soul has been cleansed
Without me, Slim Shady Chang brother’s 
#18. Vancouver memories
See, I've been rappin hooks ever since I was six now i'm  
Mixin' my own shit, I’m Natasha, hoppin' on "Giggs/gigs"
부스로 오기까지 거친 많은 일
끌리는게 있다면 고민말고 do your thing

Verse 3) Partizan

i used to walk along the railroad tracks, see the graph on the wall
thats more than writing, call to examine the daily surroundings
Is this what you want, My friends said I think too much
so I thought I should talk to a crowd because the noise in my mind
got too loud for one person. It turns out it was worth it
take you far away from the cell phone service, listen up!
live with a purpose. took me some time to find mine
they ask what it is got no way to explain besides this
I flow over oceans, gated channels open like subway gates
I'm in that zone where a home is an airport, makes no sense
I make new friends with the old ones
B.Won my right hand with the mic on, the music lets me see the light fall
when the night calls...
when the night calls...

"With 'Localhost Daydreams,' Luma Snooz delivers the ultimate backdrop for deep work and late-night study sessions. Blending warm ambient textures with steady, non-intrusive hip-hop drums, this instrumental track is designed to boost concentration without distraction. Ideally suited for the 'Coding Mode' or 'Jazz Vibes' demographic, it strikes a perfect balance between relaxation and productivity
