The Chain Gang, Vol II: Original Samples

That last sample set was too small, so we had to hit you with another one today. State Property‘s follow up to their 2002 debut, The Chain Gang Voll II, includes the monster hit “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop” by the Young Gunz and production from the regular Roc-A-Fella producers, like Chad Hamilton. If the first State Property sample set made you feel cheated, then this set should make up for it. A good number of these tracks are interpolations, but it’s nice to hear where the inspiration came from.
