SAMPLE NATION 030 // JOE BUHDHA

Joe Buhdha’s work with Kyza, Klashnekoff and Rodney P in the early 2000s created sounds and styles that have continued to be imitated throughout the UK scene. Despite releasing very few songs, his work really has changed the UK sound and he’s created artist defining music that hasn’t been equaled since. I look forward to much more music from the man, but in the meantime here is two hours of his best work and a selection of new UK Hip-Hop for additional enjoyment

Broadcast 05/01/20

SAMPLE NATION 028 // PETE ROCK

One of the select few legendary producers that really changed the face of Hip-Hop with his style and sample selection. The chops and samples were so unique for the time and his style has seeped into so much modern Hip-Hop that’s followed. Considering how influential he is, it’s so weird to see how little music he’s actually put out… Quality over quantity..

This show is two hours of classic bangers, b-sides, remixes, album cuts and original samples

SAMPLE NATION 024 // FOREIGN BEGGARS

For me Foreign Beggars debut album Asylum Speakers is up there with 36 Chambers, a perfect Hip-Hop album. An Album I can listen to from start to finish, an incredible collection of featured artists and even the skits alone will have me singing along. Sadly they recently broke up as a group, so I felt I should celebrate the music they created over the years.

So here is two hours of some of my favourite Beggar’s tracks, mixed in with some new UK bits and pieces and a couple Original Samples

Enjoy
