If you're a nerd, a beatmaker, or just someone who appreciates the art of sampling and loves hearing different interpretations of the same sample, this show is for you!

When 24-Carat Black released their debut album in 1973, it was largely overlooked and failed to gain mainstream recognition. However, as time passed, it became a cult classic among beatmakers, producers, and vinyl collectors, thanks to its rich, soulful compositions and deep, cinematic sound. The album has been sampled countless times, solidifying its legacy in hip-hop and R&B.

In this episode, we focus on the title track, Ghetto: Misfortune’s Wealth—a hauntingly beautiful and powerful piece of music that has inspired generations of artists. You'll hear how this timeless track has been flipped and reimagined in songs by Jill Scott, Eric B. & Rakim, Young Disciples, and many more.
