Logic samples Welles radio shows

Postby Wellesnet » Tue Jul 21, 2020 5:32 pm

Classic Orson Welles radio broadcasts are sampled on a forthcoming album by Grammy nominated rapper Logic.

Welles can he heard prominently on two tracks on Logic’s album, No Pressure, which is set to arrive on Friday, July 24, via Def Jam Record­ings/Vision­ary Music Group.

The two Logic tracks featuring Welles’ voice are Intro and Obediently Yours. They make use of a 1942 broadcast of The Hitch-Hiker and a Commentaries show from 1946.

Judging from some of the comments at this Youtube uploading of the 8/11/46 Commentaries program, Logic's use of the Welles show in "Obediantly Yours" has aroused some interest in the original. Good to see.
