Jakspin Music Publishing 90s Hip Hop Chords Decoded – Chords of the Golden Era

Jakspin Music Publishing’s *90s Hip Hop Chords Decoded* analyses the harmonic foundations of more than 50 classic rap tracks from the 1990s. The focus is on the chord progressions and jazz samples that shaped the sound of an entire generation.

The harmonies are clearly visualised on a keyboard and in a piano roll format. This makes the book particularly suitable for beatmakers, producers and musicians who work without traditional musical notation and want to understand directly how iconic hip-hop beats are constructed.

The analyses are supplemented by information on producers, releases and the original recordings from which many of the famous samples are taken. In this way, *90s Hip Hop Chords Decoded* combines musical inspiration with fascinating insights into sampling culture and is a valuable resource for anyone seeking inspiration from the sounds of the 90s.
