Wishing a very happy release week to looooong time DMG friend, Busta Rhymes. From Rachel Tyler, who worked on this huge album:

My work bestie has done it again! The better part of 2026 has been spent working with on this epic new record, Dillagence 2 which is a follow up to the also-epic Dillagence – the collaboration between Busta and his longtime friend, the late, great J Dilla. In March, I was handed 17 samples to clear. That number fluctuated a few times, but in the end, 15 songs made the final cut, and two more will appear on the Deluxe album (out in a couple of weeks). Congratulations to Busta on the release of this record! I’m so proud to be a part of this!

Before we officially say goodbye to June, we need to revisit a very special album to DMG’s history. Released on June 30th 2017, Jay-Z’s thirteenth studio album was a concise presentation of thoughtful sampling and intimate instrumentals that set the sonic landscape for Jay-Z’s unprecedented rawness. 4:44 was produced solely by No I.D. and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. Jay-Z’s dive into socio-economic commentary sharply addressed the overlapping subjects of generational wealth and systematic racism, while messaging financial literacy in the face of institutionalized barriers. 4:44’s confessional lyricism and cultural impact was praised by fans and critics alike, sparking conversation across cultures.
DMG was involved on songs such as:
Kill Jay Z sampling “Don’t Let It Show” by The Alan Parsons Project

In an unprecedented and groundbreaking event, Drake released not 1, not 2... but 3 new albums last night at the drop of midnight, gracing us all with almost three hours worth of new material to obsessively comb through. ICEMAN, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR carry three distinct styles and sides of Drake's artistic expression. He left no room for any fan of his to feel shorted out on the experience.
This impressively large scale release was made possible by dozens, if not hundreds, working in the industry to help make this come to life. Not the least of which is the sample team here at DMG Clearances. Deborah led the way on the 16 sample clearances that spanned the three albums, with the expert helping hand of Nicole Passon. A project like this is an unbelievable undertaking that will continue to live on in our work emails for many, many months beyond this initial release date. The opportunity to be a part of something this grand is a blessing and a privilege.
Enjoy the new tunes, everyone!

mgk and Wiz Khalifa collabed to create an infectiously fun track titled "girl next door", released just yesterday. This song samples and interpolates "KKMJ" by Sweet Trip. The sound harkens back to that wonderfully blissful era of music from the 2008 - 2014 range where both mgk and Wiz Khalifa came to prominence in. Definitely keep this one in your backpocket for the summer get togethers.
