Angels samples Headlock

A$AP Rocky’s “Angels” (2013) is built on Imogen Heap’s “Headlock” (2005) — a sample that travelled 8 years to get there. In SAMPLE SAMPLE SAMPLE we spin the original and ask you to name the hit that flipped it. This one lives in the expert crate, worth 3 points in party mode.
