One of the most underrated sampling techniques in Hip-Hop is piecing together minute vocal chops to sound like one continuous clip. Just Blaze noted “Song Cry” took a whopping 96 chops to sound like the fluid masterpiece it is. J Dilla masterfully chopped, diced and re-worked samples all over Donuts.

New Jersey electronic producer Flamingosis—who credits Dilla as an influence-put the tactic to good use on “Ohhh Baby,” an upbeat instrumental with soulful wails at its centerpiece.

“Ohhh Baby” is a brilliant Hip-Hop/Electro fusion composed of a genial guitar melody and slapping 808s. Flamingosis kept the bellowing “Oh Baby” sample from monotony with clever mixing and filtering techniques, including a curious cascading effect in which the sample sounds like fingers plucking down a keyboard.

Along with releasing “Ohhh Baby,” his second single in two weeks, the prolific producer announced his next album is due next month in the description of the track.
