An exploration of the spirits of vintage funk and jazz records which have found their way into contemporary rap music. A cut-up selection of timeless tunes sampled by A Tribe Called Quest, The Beatnuts, MF DOOM, Ice Cube, Cypress Hill, and many more.

I'm not including a tracklisting cause mixes are better when you don't know what song's coming next. If you'd like an ID of any of the songs on here, just ask and I'll answer.

Music Haunted by the Ghosts of Records Past: Vol. I

Meta Metta is a collection of songs inspired by Metta World Peace, formerly known as Ron Artest. He has long been the most quoteworthy athlete, as has been utilized in comedy on Jimmy Kimmel Live as well as Key & Peele, and now Basketball Records brings you a collage of samples from his career meshed with Krauttastic synths and basement drum machines as their first release, officially due out as a tape in May 2015.
