It really depends on who owns the records he is sampling. Maybe he does? Or someone he knows? The sources are usually very rare, but I'm sure there's support or he wouldn't be able to do this. Maybe someone bought up all the publishing for those labels (Russian, Turkish prog and funk lol)

You'd probably notice that when he's placed on other albums, that beat might be a bit more chopped up or recognizable - more of a commercial style. His ALC Records releases are more loops and the like. A lot of money comes from his vinyl and merch, and that branding

But remember, he has had industry connections since birth. I give him all the credit for the music that he makes but those connections definitely help.

Budgie (the UK producer he's worked with) openly says he's able to sample and loop up all those gospel vocal samples because his dad owns the label of those sampled artists - Al might have a similar setup

The art he makes is important, and I fully support it. Not trying to diminish that at all. He clearly has a strong team supporting

Cuz that's how nikkas get slapped with lawsuits

Fans be wanting to sample snitch not understanding that position that puts the producer in

And let's be clear, the real reason why the big sample producers like alc/knx/madlib don't wanna pay them samples is because 9 times outta 10 they KNOW that money is going to some random millionaire white guy who was smart enough to buy up all the rights to the music, not the people who made it.

Shouldn't you be doing the same. Sick of seeing your pig skinned ugly ass face all up on threads. Lame ass no rapping ass white Canadian.

I saved $1,300 last month, Grateful I'm alive and am dating a hottie for the last 5 years, excited about my upcoming album Plexi Glass Park, proud of my discography and my 500,000 views, I love my family, fans, they love me - and I'm committed to having three million dollars in cash. 💫🥌🥳
