Salute to the Sample Series: The original records sampled by legendary hip-hop producers!

 “Salute to the Sample” is a mix series created by Djaytiger that focuses exclusively on the original records sampled by legendary hip-hop producers. Each volume explores the soulful, jazzy, funky, and rare grooves that became the foundation for some of rap’s most timeless classics.

Instead of mixing the rap songs themselves, this series shines a spotlight on the source material — the original artists, musicians, and recordings that inspired generations of producers and helped define the sound of hip-hop culture. From deep soul cuts and dusty jazz breaks to obscure funk and smooth R&B melodies, “Salute to the Sample” gives listeners the opportunity to hear the music behind the music while appreciating the art of crate digging and sample-based production.

Volume 3 – The Origins of A Tribe Called Quest https://realdjsmatter.bandcamp.com/tr... More volumes coming soon.
