             . ... NOTES      
             Funky DL for many years has been considered         
             somewhat of an anomaly in the UK Hip-Hop            
             scene. As an enthusiastic teenager hailing          
             from Hackney, East London, his early                
             endeavours saw him respectively securing            
             a five- album record and publishing deal            
             with Almo Sounds and Rondor Music                   
             Publishing back in 1997. In the same year,          
             DL would end up winning a MOBO Award for            
             Best Hip-Hop Act with his debut album               
             Classic Was The Day (subsequently being           
             nominated for the same award in the next            
             two consecutive years). From therein, his           
             focus began to shift towards becoming an            
             international Hip-Hop icon, directing his           
             music to audiences in Europe and Japan.             
             After recording with the likes of UK                
             Hip-Hops pioneers Rodney P, Skinnyman              
             and Blak Twang and remixing records for             
             Missy Elliot, Keith Sweat and Adina Howard,         
             as well as many tour supports for acts such         
             as The Roots, Eminem and Destinys Child,           
             DL went on to secure multiple licensing             
             agreements in Japan and toured there                
             extensively; touching down in cities such           
             as Tokyo, Osaka, Mito, Hamamatsu, Wakayama,         
             Utsunomiya, Fukuoka, Kyoto, Sapporo, Gifu,          
             Nagoya, Okayama, Yokohama and Akita.                
             His releases were outselling some of the            
             biggest names in US Hip-Hop and DL committed        
             himself to a slew of album releases that            
             would eventually cement his name as one of          
             the most consistent artists from the UK to          
             release quality music. In the early 2000s,         
             DL teamed up with the then up-and-coming            
             Japanese Producer Nujabes to record a               
             series of tracks, which would later go              
             on to become household anthems within the           
             Japanese Hip-Hop scene.                             
             Not only was DL a keen MC, but also as an           
             avid producer, he would eventually release          
             some unofficial remix projects as free              
             downloads, namely his Funky DL samples Amy          
             Winehouse Back To Frank / Back To Rap             
             project and his Funky DL remixes Nas                
             Jazzmatic series. Both would garner large         
             audiences from every corner of the globe who        
             were now intently following DLs audio              
             exploits with hundreds of thousands of              
             downloads to follow. What was so unique was         
             that DL was growing his audience like never         
             before whilst simultaneously going to               
             University to study for a law degree,               
             subsequently graduating in 2014.                    
             Funky DLs journey is remarkably impressive         
             and encompasses 18 studio albums to date,           
             with 2019s Def being the most recently           
             released. The depth of DL's storytelling            
             ability fused with his personality, added            
             to his illustrious sound for production             
             truly makes for highly compelling listening.        
             The frightening thing about this all is that        
             DL always treats his career as if this is          
             only just the beginning
