R&B / Soul

The soul sample is the backbone of hip hop. The rich history of the genre makes for a perfect source for samples. From early gospel to neo soul, hip hop producers have always scoured records for soul loops and soul songs to sample. Our soul library spans from 1960 to 2022. Dig into the finest soulful samples to enrich your productions with feeling, emotion, heart, and soul. See our catalog as a soul sampler: press play to start ‘needle-dropping,’ or use Tracklib’s Beat Player to find the perfect soul loops. All songs and multitracks on Tracklib are original, previously released, and made by real musicians. This is better than premade soul sound packs for obvious reasons: how can something prefabricated have SOUL? By sampling original music, you capture a spirit and studio sound that can’t be recreated. From 60s/70s analog aesthetics to the chemistry between musicians in during iconic studio sessions. That’s why Tracklib offers a wide range of soul samples: think of pioneering Philly Soul by the Delfonics, produced by Thom Bell and sampled by The Alchemist, DJ Premier, and RZA. Tracklib even contains soul music from artists sampled by Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, A-Trak, Kenny Beats, Young M.A, $NOT, among others.
