IT WAS OH SO SAMPLE THEN!
Look at your monitor, is it a turd, no... is it David Blaine, nope…it’s DJ SoundNexx babie (echo effects go here)! This is not a trick folks. This is my first official post for the New Year. Yep, your boy is back at it again for the 2007 plus one! This year makes it approximately two years since I started this blog. What does that mean? Nothing really, just that I have dedicated a lot of my personal time to share my love for music with you good folks over these past two years. That’s about it. I won’t bother getting into those irrelevant statistics about how my visitor traffic has increased or how many site hits I get per day because who really cares about that stuff anyway. Running this spot is strictly a hobby for me that some folks actually like to check out from time to time, and that’s cool with me. I try to keep things simple around here. So, you may be wondering what new things do I have in store for 2008? The answer to your question is “not a dayum thang playa!” I just plan on bringing you more DOPE artists to explore and many more tunes to enjoy. Seriously, if you want to share any suggestions or ideas that you feel are worthy, feel free to do so.

Speaking of tunes, to start off the New Year right I am sharing my fifth installment of my Sample This Lesson series mixxes. With this mixx I am showcasing one my favorite old school artists Donny Hathaway. He’s not just any ole’ artist, he’s a legend to many. His voice and sound were like no other in his class. While many have tried to duplicate there will only be one Donny Hathaway. His music is timeless and I still keep many of his tracks in my rotation even today. I chose three of my favorite Donny Hathaway tracks that have been sampled by many artists over the years for this mixx. There are also several samples in this joint that have been used by artists like Lil’ Kim, Common, Little Brother, Kanye, Jay-Z, Nas, etc. that should be pretty recognizable by most. See how many of them you can name. Put your ears on this one for sure!

Oh yeah, before I exit I wanted to give a type out to my peoples and visitors overseas that check out SoundNexx on the regular! Since, it is January 5th today, this will be the last day that I will say or type the words "Happy New Year" until the ball drops in 2009!
