KUK funky
About This Sample
Kyla Reid's 2008 UK funky single — a Crazy Cousinz production riding a syncopated soca-leaning drum pattern and a bright, plaintive vocal hook. The song was a defining record of the brief UK funky moment that bridged grime, soca, and house in London circa 2008-09. For 'One Dance' (2016), Nineteen85 and 40 lifted Kyla's vocal hook intact (she's credited as a featured artist), built a new dancehall-inflected riddim underneath using Wizkid's Afrobeats sensibility, and gave Drake space to glide over the top. The result became Drake's first solo Billboard Hot 100 number one, the most-streamed song in Spotify history at the time, and the record that announced Drake's global Afro-Caribbean pivot.
