Milwaukee MC and producer Twan Mack has released his new single "No Samples" featuring Brooklyn MC Skyzoo. Produced by Kareem City Music "No Samples" is just what it suggests, a boom bap-styled track that's sample free.
"I wanted to show that as much as I love samples, [Hip-Hop isn't] relegated to samples," Mack told ROCK THE BELLS. "With sync licensing and AI technology, it would be a shame to put time into producing a track, and not be able to release it because you have a James Brown sample in it."
Mack, a sample-based producer, also attributed his motivation for creating the song to his mother. "I also wrote 'No Samples' because my mother got tired of me borrowing her records," he explained. "I probably owe her a $10,000 record collection from all the Minnie Riperton and James Brown records that I borrowed from her and never returned."
