About This Sample
The Soul Superbs' 'Just Ask Me' is a rare 1974 sweet-soul/funk 45 — a tender, harmony-driven group vocal that languished in obscurity until the Numero Group reissued it decades later on its 'Rust Side Story' archival series. For 'Slime You Out' (2023, with SZA), Drake's production team (including 40, Bnyx, and Dalton Tennant) sampled the record directly, and the original's writers received songwriting credit on the track. The dusty, intimate vocal texture of the Soul Superbs cut grounds the song's hushed, accusatory ballad mood, threading a forgotten Midwest soul record into a modern Drake-and-SZA collaboration. 'Slime You Out' debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in October 2023.
