Who sampled · 2010s · intermediate crate
Drake’s “Started From the Bottom” (2013) is built on Bruno Sanfilippo and Mathias Grassow’s “Ambessence Piano & Drones 1” (2008) — a sample that travelled 5 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 intermediate crate, worth 2 points in party mode.
