3 Little Digs Presents “Any Given Monday” Episode 8… Drake & J.U.S.T.I.C.E League from 3 little digs on Vimeo.
Spotted over at 3LittleDigs and I have to say I’m really impressed with this footage. Most studio clips will be a producer making a beat, explaining how a track was made, etc. but I’ve never seen the members of a team go head to head battling for the unofficial title of best ear when it comes to samples. The “interleague” battle as it was called, consisted of Rook vs Colione vs Barto with Drake crowning Colione as having the best material. I personally like Rook’s selections but what do you guys think? Was Drizzy right on this one?
