The Death of Adam: Original Samples

88-keys-wide

Hot off of our January Month of Samples, we have one of the most requested sample sets of the past couple of months. the debut album from 88-Keys, The Death of Adam, was released this past November and I can’t count how many times this thing has been requested since then. The album is totally produced by 88-Keys, with an executive production credit to Kanye West. The samples play together just as well as the actual album, with songs from Freda Payne, Gladys Knight, and Wings among others. Though we won’t post sample sets daily like we did last month, you can be sure that we’re working hard on lots of new sets. Props to Deez for supplying the sample credit from this album’s linear notes!

Probably the first album where I am checking the samples before listening it! How strange is that!
I have the Wings & Sly tracks already, but can’t remember the Imagination tune yet.

Oh & please keep the download links where possible.
