There’s still nothing better than a perfectly placed sample. So although it’s the lyrics from Kidd Upstairs (making his DJBooth debut today) that transform new standout song selection Believe from something dope to something meaningful, I guarantee the first thing that will grab your attention is that soaring vocal sample. Looks like I should be saluting the Bay Area artist for both his work behind the boards and for some seriously heartfelt work behind the microphone – salute. Those similarly converted from doubters to Believers by the latest hip-hop double threat can check out more from Kidd on his recently released DMNDS album, which dropped on July 1.

That old school vocal sample is so 9th Wonder/Jay, eh? Nice work by Kidd Upstairs, who delivers.

Kidd Upstairs is the most talented artist/musician I've ever known. To see how naturally things come to him in the studio is incredible. #Starrock

One thing I love about this track that might be overlooked is the bass... Love the beat, ya... and the sample too, but I find myself primarily nodding along to a very excellent bass line.
