Poverty (‘Verplaats Bergen’ Instrumental)

This is the instrumental of the track ‘Verplaats Bergen’ released in 2014 by rapper Stripe from The Netherlands. I used a sample from the 1973 R&B/Soul song “Poverty’s Paradise” by 24 Carat Black from the album ‘Ghetto: Misfortune’s Wealth’.

The beat consists of a ‘Boom Bap Hip-Hop’ drum pattern with a considerable swing. The Bass was recorded with my Korg Microkorg and has a characteristic sound. This bass sound cannot be achieved with any digital VST bass in my opinion. It sounds really well with the soul chops from the 24 Carat Black song. Furthermore, I added a piano progression in the background and some synths. In the original track you will also hear a nice saxophone solo recorded by my brother ‘Rootsman’.
