Frank N Dank

I got my hands on some serious iTunes voucherage last month and bought a mountain of albums, singles, and one-offs. Now I’m not working my way through them all and bringing a few here and there to your attention (if you didn’t already know about them, that is).

The first up to bat is The EP from Frank N Dank. One music review site (not Bitchfork) actually said there were two ’serious flaws’ with Frank N Dank’s The EP - Frank N Dank. Now, I can see why these two dudes might not be what you get down with, but, damn, saying Frank N Dank are the two biggest problems with a Frank N Dank CD. That’s just cold. And unfair.

Repping Detroit, Frank N Dank (aka Frank Bush and Derrick Harvey, aka Frank Nitty and Dankery Harv) aren’t the source of uncool on their own album. In fact, the album just ain’t uncool. With Dutch producers I.N.T, Kid Sublime, and Wouda on the scene, The EP - released by Dutch label Dopeness Galore last month - is light years better than a lot of the mass-produced Shit Hop making the rounds out there. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it Touch (the site with the review I mentioned at the start of this post).

For your sampling I chose the Werkmix of “Spitkicker” because the beat is simple, stripped down, head noddin’ excellence. The original is very good, too, the Werkmix shows what you can do with so little. And, yes, I purchased the dirty version of the album, so the bleeps are intentional and part of the song.
