CyHi The Prynce, Joell Ortiz and Your Old Droog gave us sample-heavy records this week.

Last week we featured some of the game's heaviest hitters on Samples Of The Week, with Action Bronson and The Alchemist getting jiggy over a classic drum break and Drake once again paying homage to country music star George Strait. The biggest tracks this week may have had more modern sounds and not featured identifiable samples, but reliable traditionalists came through in a big way, delivering some tracks that got us nostalgic.

In their new records, CyHi The Prynce, Joell Ortiz and Your Old Droog hearkened back to '90s R&B, an old Kanye West interview and a punk-rap masterpiece, respectively. Read on to learn more about the samples that fuel their new material.
