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...
Busta Rhymes is one of the most intricate rap artists of all time, with his outlandish fashion sense, artistic visuals and obscure musical backdrops aided by the samples often chosen by Busta Rhymes and his collaborators.
Anderson .Paak is my favourite discovery over the last few years. I rediscovered him through his work with Knowledge as Nx Worries… Suede and Link Up became instant favourites of mine… Yes Lawd! His Malibu, Venice and (recently) Oxnard albums are classics in their own...
Yum yum! Baatin, T3 and Dilla founded the Hip Hop group J-88, which later became the legendary Slum Village. And by God have they produced classic after classic over the years, Slum Village began by lacing Dilla’s donuts with delicious flows and lyrics. This week...
February is Dilla Month! So it would be silly to only dedicate one Sample Sunday to him this month… This week features J Dilla’s best work as an emcee. Typically, J Dilla is renowned as a producer, but few acknowledge him as the capable emcee he was.

Kaytranada is probably the best Hip Hop producer in recent years. With the work he’s done with Craig David, Mick Jenkins, Anderson .Paak and of course, his solo album, 99.9%, Kaytranada has quickly made himself a household name. This week features songs produced by...
“Juicy Fruit” by Mtume became one of the greatest Hip Hop samples of all time and one of the most recognisable records ever produced by the Notorious B.I.G. It was all a dream, now I read Word Up magazine, Salt-N-Pepper, Heavy D, up in the limousine… This week not...
Everyone knows I love J Dilla, and so should you! Unless you’ve never heard of him, in which case please let this be an educational video. J Dilla has produced classics for Janet Jackson, A Tribe Called Quest, Busta Rhymes, Dwele and the Pharcyde. J Dilla was...
Happy New Year everyone! As Christmas has been and gone and we’re looking into 2019, this weeks Sample Sunday is a New Years Special. Rhian and I are covering some of our favourite songs released in 2018, including: Boblo Boat - Royce da 5’9” Feat. J. ColeWhat Am I To...
