Blazin' Through the Track  - Just Blaze is known for making countless hits since 1999 and has tons that have never been unearthed. Last week he played unreleased tracks by Jay Electronica and Jay Z, because why not? And if you’re a fan of his production, you know he’s a connoisseur in the art of sampling. Many of his iconic beats had that one repetitive voice, one horn, one riff of keys guiding the song throughout three minutes and thirty seconds. Those are the sounds that stand out, most likely due to its familiarity. Here’s a list of some of Just Blaze’s best samples, because without them, the songs wouldn’t be the same. — Janice Llamoca (Photo: Brian Killian/WireImage)
