Description:
Released on Kay-Dee Records in 2004, “Nervous Like Me” was the 3rd Slice of power (KD003) to be featured on Kenny Dopes new label and captures The Dap-Kings’ signature fusion of vintage funk and soul revival energy. The track is anchored by tight horns, punchy drums, wah-wah guitar riffs, and a rolling bassline, creating a groove that is simultaneously retro and fresh.
The Kay-Dee release highlights the band’s live instrumentation and analog sound, emphasizing the warmth and authenticity of 1960s and 1970s funk while giving it a modern edge. Its infectious rhythm and dynamic arrangements quickly made it a favorite in rare-groove DJ sets and among collectors seeking contemporary funk that feels timeless.
“Nervous Like Me” is a perfect example of The Dap-Kings’ ability to honor classic soul and funk traditions while crafting tracks that resonate in the 21st century, ensuring the single remains a standout in the early 2000s funk revival scene.
