J. Cole Raps ( Can't Get Enough ) Over a Classic From Guinea's Golden Era Of Music

Much of hip hop is based on sampling great tracks from yesteryears, and U.S. rapper J. Cole continues this great tradition on Can't Get Enough, one of the three confirmed tracks from his debut album  . J. Cole's flow works brilliantly wit the sampled track, but then that is to be expected from someone who's near the top of Vibe's list of Greatest Rappers Alive ( Under 30 ).

We're pretty sure, though, that fans of African music of any sort who've heard to Can't Get Enough will either have recognised the sample, or will at least have wondered what it is. If you're in the latter group, or if you recognised it but couldn't quite place it, wonder no more.

The track is Paulette, is by Balla et ses Balladins , one of the most creative - but now mostly forgotten - bands to have emerged from the small West African country of Guinea 's golden golden era of music. Below is the full original track for your listening pleasure.
