Welcome to Sampl’d!
The idea of this blog came to me because of my passion as a music listener. Music is universal, a language all its own.
The goal of Sampl’d is to give my readers a weekly crash course on the art of song sampling. So what exactly is song sampling? Sampling is when an artist recycles part of a previously existing track based on its rhythm, melody, speech, and other elements to add contemporized nuances.
Conversations in this blog will revolve primarily around Hip-Hop and R&B tracks. Not only is that my favorite kind of music, but the genre is the foundation for sampling.
I hope you have your music streaming apps open and ready to make some new playlists because Sampl’d will act as your encyclopedia for expanding your musical taste and taking it back to where the sample was the debut.
