The Dynasty: Roc La Familia [Original Samples]

Here’s another one that Thomas hooked up for us. Between the diggin’ he’s doing and the diggin’ I’ve been doing, I can’t seem to post these sample sets fast enough!

Released on October 31, 2000, The Dynasty: Roc La Familia is the 5th studio album released by Jay-Z. Originally a Roc-A-Fella Records collaboration album, a showcase for Roc-A-Fella artists such as Memphis Bleek, Beanie Sigel, and Freeway, it eventually became another Jay-Z solo album (or at least marketed as one to increase sales), although the Roc-A-Fella artists are abundant on this album. Rather than using big-name producers such as Swizz Beatz and Timbaland, who had featured prominently on Vol. 2 and Vol. 3, Jay decided to feature more up-and-coming producers on this album, such as Just Blaze, Kanye West, Bink! and The Neptunes. Partially as a result of this exposure, these producers would achieve notable success in the future. Given Just Blaze and Kanye West’s penchant for utilizing soul samples in their beats, the album features a smoother sound than Jay-Z’s previous efforts, though Bay Area-based producer Rick Rock includes a more minimalist sound in his four beats.
