That's a nice fencing mask.  I really liked the original version of "Twelve Reasons To Die" and then this remix album was even better.

Another great 2013 album, full of nice beats and diverse Emcees.

This EP flew under the radar a bit, but this song made me remember it.




Artist:  Arthur Verocai
Song:  Dedicada A Ela
Year:  1972
Album:  Arthur Verocai



Get this album immediately, an example of the fact there is a lot of good music from Brazil.  This record is full of samples.
 
The Ghostface Killah song starts with the 8-bar sample starting at 0:16 and also uses the 2-bar loop from 0:00.
 
Statik Selektah's starts with the sample at 1:10 which appears again in the song.  The verses use the samples from 1:20 and 1:28.
 
Curren$y and Young Roddy begin with the sample from 0:00 then the 8-bar loop from 0:16.  The 4-bar loop from 0:48 is also used.  The song ends with the 20 bars (yes, 20 bars) starting at 1:20.
