The Original Sample:
(She’s) My Lady by Jayson Hoover
When I think of Vancouver I think of the Canucks hockey team, the former location of the Memphis Grizzlies and….that’s about it. I just don’t know much about Vancouver. But it’s 5,615 km away from Miami, so it’s understandable, right? But the more I research Vancouver for this write-up, the more it seems like a city I’d like to visit. For one, Vancouver is the first city to rank among the top-ten of the world’s most liveable cities for five straight years. Also, it’s considered the Hollywood of the North — ranking second to LA in the number of television productions and third to LA/NYC in movies/films shot in a city/location.
Vancouver must be nice. In fact, this week’s sampled artist, Jayson Hoover, visited there in the mid-60s and never left. He soon became immersed in Vancouver’s thriving soul and r&b scene during the 60s and 70s. He became part of a band that had a series of name changes during the latter part of the 1960s: Jason Hoover And The Epics (1965), The Trials of Jayson Hoover (1966), and The Anvil Chorus (1968). In the late 60s, the group adopted the psychedelic trend at the time. But by 1974, Jayson Hoover went solo and switched to a larger label. In 1975, he released a self-titled album which features this week’s sample. Here’s a rare video of the Vancouver soul/r&b scene which features Jayson Hoover:

Posted by Mr. Klimatic (@Mrklimatic) | April 23, 2012, 11:29 PMThanks Klimatic I’m really feelin that joint, almost broke my neck LOL loved the way you programmed it out. dizzle l;oved the effects on yours, sound like doom and Nas could be on that MADNESS. Agent 78 sounds like you were killin those pads, lovin the chops. Ize that joint had that west coast NWA feel to it at the beginning and then BANANAS midway Amazing. Hi-Rock if thats ur idea of a rainy day then I wanna be outside to vibe to it, sounds like we ridin around the city just spittin back and forth DOPE. Sideways sounds like we running away from the pirates on that island and those drums SEESH supreme technique. Blackph03nix sounds like Wu can be on that track str8 killin it with that militant sound. Thyro that track had that bounce to it with that smooth bass line and I like how you let the track build NASTY. Overall, good session, glad to be back had alot of moving going on but I still listened to every session. Let’s keep this goin

@Nev hahaha I just named it Rainy Days coz it was raining when i finished the beat lol..but what a coincidence since there’s a Vancouver connection with the sample and it rains a lot in Vancouver. haha
Peace…on to the next!
