Anyone know the Artist/ Song title of the sample that is used on Mad Lion's "Take It Easy" and on what albums the original track can be found on?
Thanks in advance.

Irie Kenpoman,
That is one of my favorite hip-hop tracks. It would be nice to know where the sample came from.
Roots,

No, it's none of those, I am familiar with the tracks that are mentioned above.
I've heard the sampled "Take It Easy" before at stage shows between acts, but its been a long time.
It sounds like a young Jr. Reid, I'm not sure if its him, it is that kind of White Mice, Yami Bolo, or Jr. Reid singing style & sound.
I found a couple MP3s of the Mad Lion track on the links below:

Ahhh been awhile since I've heard this song. Listening to it now...yah it's Yami Bolo - When A Man In Love taken from Stalag 17 18 19 album. Crucial foundation riddim album...heard at many dances.
I think everybody should have this album in their collection. Stalag riddim...BIG..because of Sister Nancy "Bam Bam" and Tenor Saw "Ring the Alarm". One of the first records I bought. Most reggae stores will have this. Get it!
