Dakar mixes classic funk/soul breaks with movie soundtracks and Senegalese Sabar drumming to paint a special backdrop for Biggie's classics.

I'd like to thank my Sabar drumming teacher, Mapathe Diop, for introducing me to the world's most rugged drumming style, and soundtrack orchestrator Scott Smalley. Thanks also to The Mackrosoft and my friends and family for encouragement. Technically, this wouldn't have been possible without Ableton Live softwareand the Breaks website.
