VA - These Are The Breaks (2012)

WHAT DO BECK AND BEYONCE HAVE IN COMMON? Aside from being the center of the recent Kanye Grammy drama, they both sampled from the Ubiquity catalog! As a matter of fact, many have borrowed bits from the Ubiquity crates. Everyone from Dilla to DJ Shadow, Mobb Deep to Talib Kweli, and even Nicolas Jaar have all snagged a bit of Ubiquity's funk for their tracks. These Are The Breaks puts the focus on said tracks and compiles 12 cuts that have been sampled from the Luv N Haight and Ubiquity catalog. Needless to say, all the originals have 'nuff funk in the trunk to make you shake ya junk. Check tracks from Jake Wade & The Soul Searchers, The Propositions, Soft Touch, Eugene Blacknell, Gap Mangione, and more.
