Your secret weapon is here: The Shogun Bundle
A complete collection of our Japanese-inspired soul samples. Hand-played, royalty-free, and crafted to make beats that turn heads. These are the kinds of samples that make people ask, “what sample is that?”
TOKYO SOUL NIGHTS
A midnight ode to Japan’s golden age of soul. Smooth keys, brushed snares, and smoky jazz chords drift through neon-lit alleyways where American soul found a new home. Every progression feels cinematic, alive with the elegance of city lights reflected on rain-soaked streets. Inspired by the quiet sophistication of Japanese jazz cafés and the raw emotion of 70s R&B, Tokyo Soul Nights is where nostalgia meets modern soulcraft.
Stems included for ultimate flexibility.
Perfect for artists such as J. Cole, Nas, JID, Saba, Mick Jenkins, Kendrick Lamar, Isaiah Rashad, Joey Bada$$, Mac Miller, Larry June, Curren$y and definitely Freddie Gibbs.

RED STAR SYNDICATE
A cinematic fusion of ancient tradition and modern grit. Red Star Syndicate blends the haunting tones of koto, shamisen, and taiko drums with raw, hard-edged soul. It feels like a late-night cypher in Shinjuku — red lanterns flickering above shadowed alleyways while every rhythm hits with precision and power. These compositions channel the discipline of Japanese craftsmanship and the hunger of street-born hip hop, merging elegance and aggression in perfect balance.
Stems included for ultimate flexibility.
Perfect for producers inspired by JID, Pusha T, Malice, Pharrell, Kendrick Lamar, Freddie Gibbs, Vince Staples, Jay-Z, Nipsey Hussle, Joey Bada$$, and Denzel Curry.
