Sales Information:

Beats by Samiyam. Cover by Samiyam. This is Sam's second album on Stones Throw.

Advancing the unfolding legacy of instrumental hip-hop at Stones Throw
is Samiyam’s Pizza Party: 24 minutes of off-kilter mobster music mixed
with a warm soul sound that is unmistakably L.A. producer and beatmaker
Samiyam. Praised by his collaborators Action Bronson, Earl Sweatshirt,
The Alchemist, and Flying Lotus, Sam’s independent beat tape ventures
and instrumental albums are revered by rappers, respected by producers.
Pizza Party is free of samples from the characteristically dusty vinyl
grooves and warped tapes of past recordings. Instead, we have originally-
played synthesizer and FX in unison with the off-the-grid drum patterns
and aesthetic sonic swagger that Samiyam owns. The last track, “What
Can I Do,” features co-production with Jonwayne.
Samiyam grew up Sam Baker in Michigan. He was among a network
of post-Donuts producers focusing on instrumental hip-hop beat as the
finished work, who found themselves migrating west and huddling in
the scene around Low End Theory in east Los Angeles. That’s where
Flying Lotus met Sam and released Rap Beats Vol. 1 as the debut on
Brainfeeder in 2008.
Three other albums followed – Sam Baker’s Album (Brainfeeder, 2011),
Wish You Were Here (Leaving, 2013), and Animals Have Feelings
(Stones Throw, 2016) – along with production work for Earl Sweatshirt,
Captain Murphy, and Pharoahe Monch.
