#84. Frank Nitt (Frank n Dank)

Frank Nitt is a rap artist from Detroit Michigan who is 1/2 of the rap group Frank n Dank. Frank is a childhood friend and long time collaborator of J Dilla and is hosting the upcoming event DillaFest Digital on Feb 6th, 2021 commemorating the 20th anniversary of Welcome 2 Detroit (Dilla's first major album release).

We discuss the history of Frank n Dank, Frank's story of meeting Dilla, the artist Amp Fiddler who originally introduced Dilla to the MPC as well as connecting him with Q-Tip. We uncover the true story behind the Frank n Dank album 48 hours, how a studio session with Dre influenced Dilla's decisions on samples vs instruments on the production of that album. Dilla's work ethic and creativity, and more.
