The bassline/horns from Art Blakey’s “Stretching” were sampled to great effect back in ‘92 by Butterfly of the Digable Planets and here it gets the 45 edit treatment by the one and only Funky President, J Rocc of the world famous Beat Junkies – two incredible tracks!
Art Blakey's "Stretching" is edited by one of the world's best DJs, J Rocc, offering up a fine 45 treatment of the Jazz classic on the A Side. Representing the sample flip on the flip is Digable Planets and "Rebirth of Slick (Cool Like Dat)" which deftly pulled out the horns and bassline from Blakey's original and looped them up for what is now regarded as an early '90s hip hop classic.
