This morning when we were listening to the Young Jeezy “Leave You Alone” Madd Hatta asked where the sample of this song came from. He thought it was from a 90’s hip hop song. He was right….kind of. With a little bit of research here is what I found out.
Young Jeezy’s “Leave You Alone” is a sample from Lonnie Liston’s Smith “A Garden of Peace”
Listen for the sample @ the 1:00 mark.
Here was where Madd Hatta was partially correct. Jay-Z also sampled the song for “Dead Presidents” a classic from his Reasonable Doubt CD. Here is the story of how that song came together.
