Salaam Remi Reworks Classic Samples For Nas & Amy Winehouse [Video]
Salaam Remi is the special guest on the latest episode of NPR Music’s ‘The Formula’ series.
Unlike most super producers, Salaam Remi doesn’t have an identifiable sound he loans out to various acts. He’s better known for mining a sound from each act he works with that, in turn, becomes their signature sound. He pushes artists through their songwriting process and that helps him figure out where to go musically.
