Episode One: "Feat. Phat Kat" by J Dilla
On the inaugural episode of “Sample Platter,” we kick things off with rapper Ronnie Cash, a.k.a. Phat Kat, who discusses his feature on a track with no name off the legendary J Dilla’s “Welcome 2 Detroit” album. The track is a catchy cut off Dilla’s solo debut featuring an infectious whistle loop, ill scratches and an addicting bassline. Some of its samples include “Do The Funky Penguin” by Rufus Thomas, “Halloween Theme” by John Carpenter, “Terra Incognita” by The Synergy and “Will O’ The Wisp” by Steve Howe. The beat, according to Ronnie, was made in ten minutes time. Here’s more about the track celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.
