Dopo averci guidato tra i samples di Yeezus, Gianni Lee e Mike Blud si sono occupati dell’altro disco rap del momento, ovvero quello di Jay-Z. Scorrendo la lista emerge la ricerca musicale fatta da Carter e colleghi, infatti tra i campioni ci sono brani di Sizzla, Johnny Guitar Watson, Adrian Younge, Nirvana, Mase, R.E.M. e Gonjasufi. Come se non bastasse, i due hanno preparato anche un altro mixato, questa volta coi samples utilizzati nei brani di maggior successo di HOVA.
«The goal of our “The Samples” series is to educate. I want people to be able to connect with music on a personal level. In order to achieve that, we must familiarize ourselves on the art and process behind the music and how it is manifested».
