They also go by the names '''Frank Nitt''' (previously known as '''Frank Nitty''', which is a reference to the 1930s crime boss [[Frank Nitti]]) and '''Dankery Harv''', and are best known for their many collaborations with the late [[J Dilla]]. Known for their party-driven, tongue-in-cheek raps, the duo first came to public attention as guests on [[Hip hop production\|producer]] [[J Dilla]]'s album, ''[[Welcome 2 Detroit]]'' in 2001. Prior to this, they had been performing in their hometown, Detroit, since the mid-1990s and had released the [[12"]]s "Everybody Get Up!" and "Me and My Man" between "Love (A Thing of the Past)", both produced by J Dilla. The group signed a recording deal with [[Music Corporation of America\|MCA Records]], but their 2003 album, ''48 Hours'', was at first rejected by the label, reworked with new production and resubmitted by the group, and finally shelved by the label altogether. Bootlegs of the reworked version eventually surfaced on the underground. The album was entirely produced by J Dilla, who uses very few samples throughout the album, instead choosing to concoct synth-driven beats for the MCs to rhyme over. It is believed that the original version of ''48 Hours'' was more sample based, and that this may have been a factor in it being rejected by MCA, due to sample clearances.<ref>http://www.grooveattack.de/distribution/artist_add.php3?artistid=85&interpret=Jay+Dee&title=Jay+Dee+Interview&label={{dead link\|date=October 2017 \|bot=InternetArchiveBot \|fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Frank n Dank released their follow-up albums, ''[[Xtended Play LP\|Xtended Play]]'' in 2004, and ''[[Xtended Play Version 3.13]]'' in 2006.
