Black Milk, not to be confused with the Milkshake and Dessert Bar or the Clothing brand of the same name, is a Detroit-based Hip Hop producer and rapper. I first discovered the 36 year old when I heard his album "Sound of the City" around 2010. I later realised he was...
Sample Sunday is a Hip Hop music show, where my girlfriend, Rhian, has to guess the reincarnations of 5 different songs; or in other words, the original samples.
This week I play Rhian a playlist of samples which have been used by artists such as Eric B. & Rakim, Q-Tip, Big L, Pikahsso, and A Tribe Called Quest. All while getting frustrated by Swansea Council and their incessant spend on roadworks - and also Rhian’s forgetfulness when I’m trying to give her hints !
To give you an idea of how the Sample Sunday game/quiz works: If Rhian heard Four Women by Nina Simone, she’d have to guess what song would follow. The answer would be The Story of O.J. by Jay-Z.

3 Feet High & Rising De La Soul Samples

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...
Feeling “HEATED” Listening to JAY DEE [Dilla Month!]
On the 7th February 1974, a genius was born. His name was James Dewitt Yancey. To others, J Dilla. An absolute legend in the Hip Hop production scene who should need no introduction.
Madd Skillz from Lords of the Underground
When I was 12/13, Lords of the Underground and Wu-Tang Clan was all I had on my iPod. “Here Come the Lords” were my Summer soundtrack whilst I was soaking up the sun in Tenerife.
