If you were raised in London, your musical DNA will be embedded with 'grime beats' which include bass ridden 808's and randomly placed claps & snares (example: Rebound X - Rhythm 'N' Gash and Lethal... Sample Of The Week: Dom Kennedy – Dream to Me
The title of the song says it all. Dom Kennedy free-styling off the top of his dome over one of the calmest Hip Hop instrumentals I have ever heard is definitely a 'Dream To Me'. If there's any song... Sample of the Week: Al Green, Kanye West & Talib Kweli

Diving straight into the breakdown of the sample; the drum loop has been delicately... Sample Of The Week: Rick Ross – Yacht Club
A few months after the release of his 'Rich Forever' mixtape, we thought it would only be right to take it back a few years when Rick Ross proved that he should not be ignored. The 2009 release, 'Deeper... Sample of the Week: Robert Akins III
Fresh from dropping his latest mixtape (on his birthday) with Locksmith Music, we thought it'd only proper to celebrate Robert Akins III's birthday (and his music) with a breakdown of one of his tracks... Sample of the Week: Kendrick Lamar – HiiiPoWeR
With Section 80 still on loop at The Cypher, we thought it might be interesting to break down one of the best efforts on the record, HiiiPoWeR, which features Alori Joh. HiiiPoWeR is an extremely important...
