The A.L.L.I.E.S. - Tell Me Where (Can I Go) (2005) sampled Marlena Shaw - Where Can I Go (1969)

Artist:  The A.L.L.I.E.S.
Song:  Tell Me Where (Can I Go)
Year:  2005
Album:  9th Wonder Presents The A.L.L.I.E.S.



This beat blew my mind the first time I heard it.  9th Wonder knows how to get the most out of a sample.




Artist:  Freedom Writers
Song:  Where Can I Go
Year:  2013
Album:  NOW



Toronto is a city of solo artists but this may be the city's best group.  The crew includes Tona, Theology 3, Adam Bomb, Frankie Payne, Progress and Big Sproxx




Artist:  Raekwon (featuring Rick Ross and Ghostface Killah)
Song:  Revory (Wraith)
Year:  2015
Album:  Fly International Luxurious Art



Raekwon and Ghostface Killah on this sample?  That's all I need to know.




Artist:  Marlena Shaw
Song:  Where Can I Go
Year:  1969
Album:  The Spice Of Life



I should have figured this sample was on the Cadet label, always a great source of samples.

The A.L.L.I.E.S. used the four-bar loop starting at 0:00.  Freedom Writers used the same loop.

Raekwon put together different combinations of the 1 bar at 0:00 and the 1 bar at 0:03.  Also, the singing comes from 1:51 to 2:02.
