Run P - G.O.O.D. Samples
Run P brings listeners up to speed on music behind G.O.O.D. Music’s 2018 output with the G.O.O.D. Samples Mix.
In what has consistently been an exploration of the creative process and context behind a classic album, Run P.'s Sample Series weaves original songs sampled on an artist's album with insightful soundbytes from their various interviews. This time around Run P. salutes G.O.O.D. Music's historical hip-hop moment --the rolling out of 5 albums from Teyana Taylor, Nas, Kid Cudi, Pusha T, and Kanye himself during Black Music Month 2018. Giving his Sample Series treatment to the collective body of work, Run reveals what seems to be a production-driven G.O.O.D. music compilation (as opposed to 5 full albums) and a deep dive into the many faces of Ye, the silence of Nasir, among other life-changing moments faced by the crew.

DJ Zimmie - YGTG Vol. 10 (Burger Was The Case)
DJ Zimmie is back in the saddle for the tenth edition of the You Gots To Grill series entitled Burger Was The Case.
The video for Dr. Dre’s “Nuthin’ But A G Thang” started my love affair with West Coast G-Funk culture. I was immediately drawn not only to the sounds but also the aesthetics. The music took all my favorite hip-hop elements and laid them over smooth, funky, soulful samples. And the visuals were the cherry on top. Lowriders, gorgeous yet dangerous women and since it’s always Summer in California, BBQs. The “You Gots To Grill” mix series is the soundtrack to those BBQs. Sample-based hip-hop, G-Funk, soul classics and a few left turns to keep the ladies happy while the fellas are slappin’ dominos. Get you a plate....
