Sampa the Great’s debut album ‘The Return’ creates a sense of home. A characterful record, its reference points range from classic hip hop to ancient Southern African traditions. Built on four years of personal and musical soul-searching, it’s the product of meaningful musical connections and of Sampa having to redefine her self-identity away from the comforts of family and old friends.

‘The Return’ – mixed predominantly by Jonwayne, Skepta / BBK’s go-to engineer MsM and Andrei Eremin (Grammy-nominated engineer for Hiatus Kaiyote and Chet Faker) – blends hip hop, neo-soul, gospel, afrobeat and jazz and features collabs with Silentjay, Kwes Darko (Slowthai) Perrin Moss (Hiatus Kaiyote), London Jazz collective Steam Down and many more.

Lead track ‘OMG’ was Zane Lowe’s World First and ‘Final Form’ his ‘World Record’ on Beats 1 – “new classic.”

Performing worldwide, Sampa has supported Kendrick Lamar, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Thundercat, Joey Bada$$, Hiatus Kaiyote, Noname, Ibeyi and Little Simz.
