The Original Sample that Defined Ice Cube’s ‘It Was a Good Day’ – Under the Covers

What’s better than original versions of famous covers? Samples of course! Sample Sauce is a new part of Under the Covers, looking at the original songs that were later sampled in famous hits.

You can catch Under the Covers on Friday Drive at 4:30pm.
