The Turnaround – A Long Awaited Drama: Original Samples

We’re gonna keep Foundation Fridays going with a brand new sample set. But I’m gonna be perfectly honest with you, I’m not familiar with this album at all. After a bit of research, I did learn that Real Live is the 1996 collaboration of K-Def and Larry-O. Apparently hailed by many as a true hip hop classic, The Turnaround: A Long Awaited Drama makes for an amazing sample set.

We can’t take credit for this set either. KevinNottingham.com reader Omey hit Thomas and I up and said he wanted to put this set together. He handed us the track/credits and we put our smack on it. And here it is. Thanks to Omey… and if anyone else wants to help contribute, we’ll take all the help we can get!
