Def
A unique 7-track excursion with minimal use of breaks, but instead relies on live instrumentation with Alex Bonfanti on bass, Ed Riches on acoustic and electric guitar and the magnificent Xantoné Blacq on keys.
About The Release
Funky DL puts down the drums and hand picks the melodies based on an interesting array of samples he discovered, but wanted to hear and then record these riffs played live. Coming fully equipped with sharp rhymes and witty storytelling (Ms Carmelita), DL also introduces his first album where every single track has a featured artist. The UK's Hip-Hop jewel Klashnekoff appears on the ode to Hackney, "Memories of Old", alongside DL's long time collaborator Sienna; as well as newcomer Stee Moglie and the legendary Xantoné Blacq making their memorable vocal appearances during the course of this brilliant summer filled set, which really is truly DEF.
