Common WROTE a NURSERY RHYME
Sample Sunday 022

Sample Sunday is a Hip Hop music show, where my girlfriend, Rhian, has to guess the reincarnations of 5 different songs (samples). This week, I put together a playlist of samples used by Common.

So how does the game work? If Rhian heard Santana’s “Maria Maria”, she’d have to guess what song would follow. The answer would be DJ Khaled’s “Wild Thoughts”.

Simon Says GET THE F*** UP

Pharoahe Monch is easily one of my top five favourite emcee’s. His use of Soul music, mixed with witty, intricate and often dark lyrics make his music an easy go-to any time I’m stuck for ideas. His album “W.A.R.” is by far one of the greatest Hip Hop albums ever...

Love J Dilla [Dilla Month!]

Dilla is, hands down, the greatest artist for me. Since discovering him at the age of ~15, I’ve never gone a week without listening to at least one record featuring or produced Jay Dee. Whenever I’m bored of music, I always switch back to listening to some Dilla. The...
