DankFunkMusic BioDank Funk by D-Bone originated sometime around 1991 in the South Side of Vallejo, Ca. D-Bone, a native of Texas, started out with a group called Tha Mobb Shot, which consisted of L-Dogg a.k.a. Playa Froste and Sandman a.k.a. Mr. Slumber. The group started recording demos right on Sheridan St. in South Vallejo. The streets of Vallejo were not ready for the type of Funk that D-Bone was producing. After a while upon meeting Young Bugg a.k.a. Khadafi of The Young D-Boyz, we instantly started recording Money Mack on a Million. The Official Dank Funk by D-Bone was started with the song Short Pimpin by Khadafi with the quotes Listening to Dank funk by D-Bone. To this day, people still greet me with that quote. The Young D-Boyz, formerly known as the Y.G. Vets (Young Gangsta Veterans) started flooding the streets with this new sound called Dank Funk. Before you knew it, Dank Funk by D-Bone was ringing all over town. Celly-Cels Gin & Juice and Funk for Life were originally recorded in the Dank Funk Lab. Later down the road with all the explosion in the Bay Area (Too Short, Mac Dre, E-40, Young Lay, N-2-Deep..) D-Bone hooked up with Askari X by the means of the 98 Posse out of the Hillside of Vallejo and recorded 7 super slaps with Askari X and the Righteous Black Gorillas out of East Oakland, Ca. Around 1995 the label Su-Side Records was started and Playa Froste started recording his solo debut. After that it was funk season in the V and the Notorious album Animosity was recorded with productions by D-Bone and Big Buzz. DankFunkMusics influences comes from a very wide selection of artists. Just to name a few; Parliament, James Brown, Rick James, Bootsie Collins, Johnny Guitar Watson, Earth, Wind & Fire, George Duke and many more. Dank Funk also has productions with P.S.D., Be-Bop a.k.a. Master Splinta, Young Droop, Miami of Thizz Entertainment and many, many more..
