There seems to be an affinity between Alicia Myers' oft sampled "I Want To Thank You" and years ending in 1. Originally released in 1981, "I Want To Thank You" has been sampled at least 39 times (per WhoSampled) by acts ranging from Busta Rhymes & 50 Cent to Tiësto & Norman Doray. Perhaps its most popular use came a mere ten years after Alicia, as Clivillés & Cole (of C+C Music Factory) reworked it for Mariah Carey's "Make It Happen." Now twenty years later, A-Trak & WEISS have returned to that well for "Funk U." Released Friday on Fool's Gold, this latest iteration appears alongside other funky joints from Bit Funk, Pat Lok and others in tonight's all-new episode of Bump In The Hump. Stream the eminently familiar "Funk U" below, get it from your preferred outlet here, and catch on Radio Humber live from 7-9 PM EST or after the fact, as cataloged on Mixcloud, here.
