Sampa The Great - The Return (Black Vinyl)

Sampa The Great - The Return (Black Vinyl)

‘The Return’ takes reference points ranging from classic hip-hop to ancient Southern African sounds. Built on four years of personal and musical soul-searching, it’s an assured statement that tackles bigger questions, exploring what it means to feel at home, to feel excluded, and to see someone as an outsider.

The album features the likes of Ecca Vandal and Jace XL on feature duties, and was produced by Silentjay, Kwes Darko (Slowthai), Clever Austin (Hiatus Kiayote) Blue Lab Beats and Syreniscreamy. The Album was mixed by Jonwayne (of Stones Throw notoriety), MsM (Skepta/Boy Better Know) and Andrei Eremin (GRAMMY-nominated engineer for Hiatus Kaiyote and Chet Faker).
