The Flow: Episode 2 - Instrumentation

The computerised beats and samples of hip-hop are all well loved elements of what makes the genre so lovable and widely celebrated. But before the invention of samplers and drum machines, live studio bands were the only option to spit rhymes over. Episode two brings us to the rarely talked about topic of using real live instruments in hip-hop. Join us as we delve deeper into the more refined elements of hip-hop music and culture.
