Yeah, I figured I’d hit you guys with one more sample set before I head out on vacation. Many thanks to Thomas again for hookin’ this one up! At 29 samples, this set is a Killah! And, you know, I see why people have been requesting these Ghostface samples… these are some really good soul music! We’re definitely gonna go through the rest of his discography.

Fishscale is the fifth studio album from Wu-Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah. Released on March 28, 2006, Fishscale won positive reviews from both critics and fans. The name Fishscale refers to uncut cocaine and the album follows a similar theme. Production on the album relies heavily on soul samples and includes tracks from Just Blaze, Pete Rock, J Dilla, and MF Doom. The Dilla beats were taken off Dilla’s Donuts album and the MF Doom cuts were borrowed from Doom’s Special Herbs series.
