Week 4 of Sample Sunday sees Rhian guess what came from songs by Marvin Gaye, Deodato, The Main Ingredient, Cal Tjader and Burning Spear.
All of the tracks come from "JB's Sample Sundays" playlist available on Apple Music and Spotify which is updated every Sunday.
The idea of this series of videos is to help promote my playlist in a fun and unique way. The first song on the playlist would typically be a sample, a song that was used in another song. For example, Lauryn Hill's "Ex-Factor", which would then be followed by Drake's "Nice For What". Rhian has to guess the song following - which she does quite well.

Pharoahe Monch is easily one of my top five favourite emcee’s. His use of Soul music, mixed with witty, intricate and often dark lyrics make his music an easy go-to any time I’m stuck for ideas. His album “W.A.R.” is by far one of the greatest Hip Hop albums ever...
Dilla is, hands down, the greatest artist for me. Since discovering him at the age of ~15, I’ve never gone a week without listening to at least one record featuring or produced Jay Dee. Whenever I’m bored of music, I always switch back to listening to some Dilla. The...
On the 7th February 1974, a genius was born. His name was James Dewitt Yancey. To others, J Dilla. An absolute legend in the Hip Hop production scene who should need no introduction.
When I was 12/13, Lords of the Underground and Wu-Tang Clan was all I had on my iPod. “Here Come the Lords” were my Summer soundtrack whilst I was soaking up the sun in Tenerife.
