Nearly 500 Million Streams."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p><strong>Using samples has become a natural part of modern music production. Almost every producer works with them in some way. Whether you use one-shots, textures, short phrases, or complete loops, it is ultimately up to you to decide how they will sound in your composition.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Samples can speed up the creative process, provide instant inspiration, or fill a missing element in a track. Not every producer is a multi-instrumentalist. Not everyone can play guitar, saxophone, or violin. This is where professionally recorded samples come in-ready to be dropped straight into a project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Guitar Sample Behind \u201cWe Rollin\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One such sample, created by <a href=\"https:\/\/slooply.com\/provider\/samples\/godlike-loops\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>Godlike Loops<\/strong><\/a>, found its way into a track by Indian-Canadian rapper Shubh. He is an incredibly popular artist who, at the time of writing, has more than 12 million monthly listeners on Spotify. His numbers across other platforms are equally impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The track in question is \u201cWe Rollin,\u201d which has generated more than 300 million streams on Spotify. Its official music video has also surpassed 135 million views on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"We Rollin (Official Video) - Shubh | Rubbal GTR\" width=\"1300\" height=\"731\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hV8EGTjzD2s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The main melodic element is a guitar sample taken from <strong>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/slooply.com\/sample-pack\/god-vibes-guitar-beats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">God Vibes \u2013 Guitar Beats<\/a>\u201d<\/strong> by Godlike Loops. Anabolic Beatz, the producer behind the song, used it to build the instantly recognizable sound of \u201cWe Rollin.\u201d He is also a well-established producer on platforms such as BeatStars and YouTube, where his channel has attracted more than one million subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Overlooked Sample With Hit-Making Potential<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, we checked the sample\u2019s statistics on Slooply, and it was not the most downloaded sound from the pack. Its overall download numbers were fairly average compared to other samples on the platform. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beatstars.com\/19862018\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\"><strong>Anabolic Beatz<\/strong><\/a>, however, recognized something in it that many other producers had overlooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a perfect example of why download numbers do not necessarily determine the value of a sample. What matters far more is who discovers it, how they use it, and what they create around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does the Royalty-Free License Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like all samples available on <a href=\"https:\/\/slooply.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Slooply<\/a>, this guitar loop is covered by a royalty-free license. This means its original creator cannot claim a share of the royalties generated by the song. At first, it may seem as though the sample producer gains little from such a major success. In reality, however, a placement like this can create valuable new opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Major Placement Can Open New Doors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The sample creator may be able to connect with the song\u2019s producer, the artist, or their management. These relationships can lead to future collaborations, custom melodies, or even direct involvement in upcoming releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, much depends on creativity, networking skills, and the willingness to take advantage of an opportunity. Sometimes success is like a train that unexpectedly arrives at your platform. Whether you get on is entirely up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo source: Ark Studios<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Using samples has become a natural part of modern music production.
