If you grew up listening to soukous and other electrifying African music like I did, you were quite surprised on first listen of J.Cole’s “Can’t Get Enough” track at the familiarity of the beat. For a while I could not figure out where I had heard the sound. Well, it turns out, it is none other than the Guinean band, Balla et ses Balladins 1980 hit song ‘Paulette’. Checkout the original classic which J.Cole sampled.
