This set right here is dedicated to my man DJ SoulClap. I got you man! SoulClap is a huge fan, so we gonna be hittin up the Masta Ace archives and hook up the sample sets. I figure we’ll start with his 1990 debut album, Take A Look Around.
Mostly produced my one of my favorite producers, Marly Marl, Take A Look Around sampled some great funk records from the likes of James Brown, Grand Funk Railroad, Lee Dorsey, and Monk Higgens. One nice gem on here that was hard to hunt down is “Razor Blade” by Little Royal and the Swingmasters.
This set also has a good combination of soul as well, giving us classics from Otis Redding, Eric Kendricks, and Gil Scott-Heron.
