A Kay A sample: "I have no idea who the producer is"

nique Read the review on DJ Phil Ty – A Kay A. We have, as always, have time to wonder where the vocal sample came from this time. Carl picked up the source somewhere on the webs; click “read more…” to see the Youtube video. One of the kind members of our trendy forum subsequently wondered if she knew of the song and sent her a PM. The surprising reply: “umm yeah i saw yesterday and no i have no idea who the producer is”. Yesterday, Nique posted a video commenting on the use of her voice (that was actually an unintended pun) for A Kay A.

“It’s ya girl Nique, A Kay A Freak Nique, A Kay A Geek Nique” – the video from which the sample was taken

So it turns out friendly neighbourhood female rapper Nique was unaware that SAIFAM sampled her intro, of all things, to create a record that will sell tens of thousands of copies! …Well, that might be a bit of a hyperbole, but it is still funny that Technoboy & friends didn’t even ask her if it was okay.

And things get better yet: Nique replied to another PM, asking her how she felt about her vocals being used without permission. “i will be puttin my video up about it later”, she says. Here it is:

Apparently, the SAIFAM team’s shameless theft of the product of her vocal chords is not a huge issue to Nique. Still, she would like to get in contact with ‘DJ Phil TY’. And who knows what good might come of it? The first black female MC in hardstyle? The first Italian hardstyle producers in hiphop?

Should Technoboy and his friends indeed contact her, we will again be the first to inform you. So stay tuned!
