Any time I hear a beat that sounds reversed I gotta check if it was Dahi who did it. Sure enough he did Father Time which has that reverse section at the beginning.

Shout out to Beach House... Their samples have made a lot of dope Hip.Hop & RnB music... Producer Zodiac from The Weeknd's House of Ballons' sampled 2 Great Songs from Beach House to produce 2 classic songs - The Party and the After Party and Loft Music...🔥🔥

Most don’t even know that most music ever made by blacks have a church influence. When Little Richard created rock and roll that was a derivative of the church songs he grew up singing. This same thing can be applied to many other artists like Aretha Franklin and many others. In hip hop we have kept that same lineage. We sample those classic songs and riffs. We also continue to dig back into church songs for inspiration on riffs, chords, and in some instances lyrics!

Never thought about the "alchemy" in those three ingredients flowing into eachother like the father spirit and all that. Genius. Thank you for sharing dahi

this is why i love sampled music. it's not about just making a musical pattern. the best part about music sometimes is the literal artifacts of the natural world, right? crackling in the music, people using voice in creative ways. what better than to restitch all these beautiful sounds into something bigger? to not repurpose sonic treasure is some reductivist pipe dream.

Brilliant sounds! I love how the sampled sounds are light and float in and out to make the drums loops super clean and crispy.

No wonder he has so many hits. Works with what sounds he has and doesn’t over do it. Dahi Goated.

GAHDAM this is such a fire piece of content from the artist to the verbiage and explanations, the graphics are insane! when they visualize the sample is so hard

thanks for doing this particular series. What a group of amazing, inspiring beings. Everyone has been amazing to watch

Great, inspiring interviews...on top of that I wanted to say great work on the motion design part in the videos too! Respect.

this kind of talk and inspiration is gold for any music producer or beatmaker, thanks for bringing this to us, and thanks to these such amazing artists to exist and to do what they are doing

This is a great series on the insight of these creative individuals!

Love this new series from NPR they’re killing it!!!!

Had no idea he sung that on loyalty.. that’s dope af.. the process to making music is other worldly especially when there’s pain put behind the music
