WhoSampled x Wax Poetics: ‘Beats, Rhymes & Life’ 20th Anniversary MIxtape
30th July 2016 marks the 20th Anniversary of A Tribe Called Quest’s 4th and penultimate studio album, ‘Beats Rhymes & Life’. Produced almost entirely by the Ummah, a production outfit featuring a young J-Dilla, it’s rich in samples and displays a bass heavy, more stripped down production sound than previous albums. Also heavily featured is Consequence whose career was largely kickstarted by the release. In keeping with tradition WhoSampled teamed up with Wax Poetics to present this exclusive mixtape of album cuts, alt versions and of course original sample material mixed by Classic Material’s Chris Read.
