    Montell Jordan's "This Is How We Do It"

    This episode is made in partnership with Spotify. SongDNA beta is available on Spotify Premium. This week, we’re bringing the old school back and diving deep into Montell Jordan’s 90’s party anthem “This Is How We Do It”. Diallo & LUXXURY break down the song’s iconic sample of Slick Rick’s “Children’s Story” and use SongDNA to show the intricate web of connected songs, taking us all the way back to an oft-sampled 70’s Jazz track. Diallo shares his perfect wedding DJ set and just where you want “This Is How We Do It” to come in, and the guys try to guess which other songs emerged from the same classic sample that birthed “Children’s Story” and in turn “This Is How We Do It”.
