I’m As the world continues to pay their respects to the late queen of soul, Aretha Franklin, Gramatik has released his own homage to this icon with a tribute single, “Let Me Know The Way.” It comes with a heartfelt message from the Slovenien DJ and producer, whose work was deeply influenced by the late artist.
Back when I was in 8th grade, I discovered sampling and found out it’s the basis of hip hop production and culture. I was captivated by this art form and she was one of the first artists I sampled in that same week. Over the last 15+ years, I’ve sampled her countless times and learned the craft through sampling her amazing discography. 2 of the most prominent beats of mine with samples of her are “In This Whole World” and “I’m Free”, and even to this day, coincidentally, I made 3 beats last month for SB5 with samples from her songs, this is one of them. She was a force of nature, a voice of a generation and an inspiration to us all. We will miss you dearly, my Queen.
