Labcabincalifornia: Original Samples

by Kevin on November 15, 2008

We have had tons and tons of requests for a sample set to The Pharcyde’s sophomore album, Labcabincalifornia. We did the best that we could with it. Some samples could not be recognized and some tracks could not be found. We did manage to get 20 samples and the majority for this album. Produced mostly by Jay Dee (also known as J Dilla), Labcabincalifornia is a classic among many.
