Raekwon gave us the best Wu album in years when he dropped OB4CL2 last year. He is slatted to release Shaolin vs. Wu Tang later this year which promises to be dope as well. In this edition of Sample Sessions we'll take it back to Rae's debut album OB4CL.
I think we all recognize the vocal samples in the intro from Scarface. The musical sample comes from a Harlem-based R&B group called Black Ivory. The song is called "I Keep Asking You Questions". Check it out.

As announced earlier today via my twitter page the Weekend Jam is no more. That being said, I present to you something new. We call it "Sample Sessions". We are big music junkies at Kirin so enjoying music isn't enough, we want to unearth its origin. So we will use this forum to bring you some of our favorite songs and the record it sampled. Got it? Good.
First up is a new joint by Kanye West/Jay-Z & La Roux entitled 'That's My Bitch". This song boast a dope drum pattern featured in an oldie by Afro-Rock band Assagai called "Telephone Girl". Producer Q-Tip masterfully manipulated this sample to create something fresh for two of hip hops best. Check it out.
