"Featuring his signature style of romantic jazz melodies, Funky DL drops this themed instrumental compilation album entitled, "Hip-Hop Jazz ...with Voices". Each track is laced with harmonic and melancholic jazz vocal-chorus chants throughout the audio as a soothing compliment to the boom-bap beats. 

The compilation emanates a cinematic vibe throughout, with the soundscape acting almost like an enchanting Parisian street scene." - Bandcamp
