This was the first King Gizz album I listened to. I liked the easy concept of an album called Quarters to have 4 songs at 10 minutes 10 seconds each, with similar riffs and progressions so that it all flows together.

Did you know?
Music sampling is reusing a part of a song (taking a literal “sample”; a snippet) and using it in a new song. It seems like a lot of people don't even know this side of music, considering hip-hop doesn't get much positive recognition. Once you realize how much these artists appreciated older music, you'll want to listen to the older music too!
