Samuel Ombasa works behind the counter at Jimmy's Records, Nairobi's premier vinyl dealer. DJing as Sam Tha Digger, he specialises in hip-hop but reaches for anything with soul coursing through it, and present them with a formidable turntablism. A talent who deserves to be known far beyond Nairobi. 

Titled "moneyorthelackthereof", his 1hr40 mix focuses on hip-hop with money as its theme; a rumination on the effects of the pandemic and a wish "to give hope to all of us as we wait for better days." In a new format for Diggers Directory, Sam has videod his set as the 18th edition of his Vinyl Session series, made in partnership with Tha Swissarmyhauz Sound System.
