Samples Samples Samples!! Sampling has played such a major role in the evolution of hip-hop and continues to do so till this day. Here are some of my favorite moments from the set at the iconic Dhobi Ghat in Mumbai, along with the records they sampled.
Head on over to YT to see the full set 🫶

Posted an Afrobeat(s) mix on YouTube a couple of days ago and here are some selections from it.
Each track has swing, humanness and an unquantized feel about it. I personally have been gravitating more towards music that feels more real lately. I’m wondering if y’all feel the same way?

Fela Kuti is regarded as the father of Afrobeat (without the s). In the 70s, he fused jazz, funk and Highlife (a genre from Ghana that uses more traditional African sounds and percussions). He was accompanied by @allencodrum in defining the sound
The genre we refer to today is Afrobeats (with the s). This is a product of Fela’s Afrobeat mixed with genres like Hip Hop, Rnb & Dancehall.
I made this mix with the intention of mixing the old and the new. Every track has swing and humanness to it, which is something i hope we can continue to preserve in the art form!
Full mix is on YT. Link in b10. Hope you enjoy. ☺️
