Name That Beat

Name That Beat: Give It All You Got

Welcome back to Name That Beat! Last week's winner, along with some hint-dropping from DJ Stylus, was Sam Champ who gave the correct answer of "Cause I Need It" by one of the few jazz harpists in the history of the genre, Dorothy Ashby. This harp-heavy track was used for quite a few tracks including Que-D's "Rockbox," and a snippet of this track was also used on "A Million And One Questions" by Jay-Z.  The best use of this track, in my opinion, was used by InI on their seminal classic "Fakin' Jax."

Dang...you always get me on the jazz Ill Mami. I'll have to ask the husband when he gets home...
