Sampa – The Great The Return

Sampa the Great’s debut album ‘The Return’ creates a sense of home. A characterful record, its reference points range from classic hip hop to ancient Southern African traditions. Built on four years of personal and musical soul-searching, it’s the product of meaningful musical connections and of Sampa having to redefine her self-identity away from the comforts of family and old friends. ‘The Return’ – mixed predominantly by Jonwayne, Skepta / BBK’s go-to engineer MsM and Andrei Eremin (Grammy-nominated engineer for Hiatus Kaiyote and Chet Faker) – blends hip hop, neo-soul, gospel, afrobeat and jazz and features collabs with Silentjay, Kwes Darko (Slowthai) Perrin Moss (Hiatus Kaiyote), London Jazz collective Steam Down and many more.
