Sample & Example: Dick Hyman & J Dilla


Finding Forever, Common's new album, hits stores today. The beats, emotions and general atmosphere of the album pays homage to the late J Dilla. Who better to feature on a S&E post than King James himself?
Listening to this sample will make you realize how special Dilla was (and is). He had such a great nack for pickin' out out-of-this-world samples...

Sample:
'Alfie' by Dick Hyman


Example:
'Won't Do' by J Dilla (Instrumental from the vinyl single)
