Sample: Kito & Reija Lee – “Sweet Talk”

Sweet Talk

Trinidad Jame$ is on fire right. With less than a year under his belt rapping and only one mixtape, dude has a bonafide hit with “All Gold Everything” and recently a $2 million record deal with Def Jam. And while “All Gold Everything” is the smash right now, I personally like another song off Trinidad Jame$’s Don’t Be S.A.F.E. project a little more. The uptempo “Females Welcomed” is not only a dope song but may prove that Jame$ isn’t the one hit wonder some people are predicting. It’s also around the 1:34 mark where the song goes in another direction. Thank the EDM duo of Kito & Reija Lee for that. I wonder will this part stay in when Def Jam tries to eventually sell this song.

    I can’t rock with either song…and damn, you on the Trinidad James bandwagon too?

      No bandwagon shit. I like the song and it’s hard to not think that sample is interesting.

        You rock with dude though? Like in general? Yeah, I just don’t think the original song nor the sample are good so meh.

        • B-Easy

          Well, it’s like this: I think his music is fun. He didn’t drop Illmatic 2 or anything with Don’t Be S.A.F.E. but like I said it’s fun.

          The whole reason I pointed out the sample here is because I’m intrigued why a rapper like Jame$ would sample a EDM song. Is he a fan of that type of music? Will you see more Southern artists follow this trend? It’s interesting to me.
