funky fresh

Trendy and original

Funky fresh is 1980s hip-hop slang for something impressively cool, stylish, or original.

It combines funky (having rhythmic soul) with fresh (new and exciting) for emphatic effect: That beat is funky fresh.

The phrase sounds dated now, often used nostalgically or ironically to evoke old-school hip-hop culture.
