About This Sample
Masego's 2017 track from his debut album Lady Lady — a warm, saxophone-laced 'TrapHouseJazz' cut whose melody itself interpolates The Beatles' 'Michelle.' For 'Champagne Poetry' (2021, the opening track of Certified Lover Boy), Masego's vocal is pitched up and chopped into a soaring, choral fragment that anchors the song's first movement over a jazzy bass before the beat switches into harder trap for the second half. (The track also interpolates Gabriel Hardeman Delegation's gospel record, but the Masego flip is the signature hook.) That pitched-up loop became the most-quoted moment of CLB's rollout, remixed by Lupe Fiasco, Freddie Gibbs, and others, and it mirrors the multi-movement opener tradition Drake established with 'Tuscan Leather.'
