Here’s a little somethin’ for your Monday night and the rest of the week…

A little while ago, I made this tape of the soul samples that had been used in some of my favourite Hip-Hop songs. The response was far better than I could have imaged. 

So, over the last few weeks I’ve been tracking some more samples, rippin’ vinyl and listening to a whole lot of soul music, and the result is Volume 2. Just like the first, it’s mixed as one tape, then separated into individual tracks. The tracks are in order, so play it through as one tape. Play it loud. Play it over and over. 

Hope you guys like it. Tracks are as follows; 

1. Feeling Good by Nina Simone (sampled in Birds Flying High by Juelz Santana)
2. That’s How Long I’ll Love You by The Chi-Lites (sampled in December 4th by Jay-Z, prod. by Just Blaze)
