Akai Karate [2021] - Smokin' & Samplin' [Official Recordings] (Full Album)


An album of samples by Akai Karate "Smokin' & Samplin'" released 22 Jan 2021 which I came across via Hodges, James & Smith "If You Wanna Love Me" which is sampled for track 4 "Cali Shine". 

I've had a bit of fun trying to identify the samples used. After input from the Soul Emperor there is one that I can't identify (3 - Soul Connections) and don't know for sure whether it's a sample or not. 

Track 5 is used by Ria706 but as that track seems to be released afterwards then they must both be using the same sample.
.
01/ Freshies (Alice Clark - Say You'll Never (Never Leave Me) [1968])
02/ Stay Lit (Player - Baby Come Back [1977])
03/ Solid Connections ?
04/ Cali Shine (Hodges, James & Smith - If You Wanna Love Me [1973])
05/ Hit Lix (Ria706 - Pull Up [2021] uses the same sample)
06/ Epilogue 34 (Cowode - Sunrays [1990])
07/ Give It Up (Doris & Kelley - You Don't Have To Worry [1967])
08/ On The Move (Lee Fields - Money I$ King [2009])
09/ Bubble Up (Al Green - Judy [1972] / The Stylistics Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart) [1971])
10/ U Can Go Now (Little Ann - Deep Shadows [2009 prev. unreleased 60s recording])
