Love It!

SampleKing is a really unique app for music lovers. I had a great time discovering how songs are connected through samples and learning the history behind tracks I already knew. The interface is easy to use, and it’s surprisingly addictive once you start exploring. If you’re a fan of hip-hop, R&B, or music production, this app offers a fun way to discover new music while appreciating the creativity behind sampling. Looking forward to seeing how it continues to evolve.

This app is an absolute gem for anyone who loves music!

I was amazed by how easily it identifies tracks while also uncovering the stories behind the songs. Discovering samples, original recordings, artist connections, and the history behind the music adds a whole new level of appreciation to every playlist.
The interface is intuitive, the information is fascinating, and I've already spent time exploring songs I thought I knew. Whether you're a casual listener, a DJ, a music historian, or just curious about where great music comes from, this app is a must-have. It's like having a music encyclopedia and detective in your pocket. Highly recommended!

Finally discovered hidden samples after all these years

Ran through a few of my favorite tracks that I always thought might have samples somewhere in them and sure enough this app identified them for me - amazing. This app is great for those looking to dig deeper into their music.

This App not only gives you the name of the song but gives you the origin of other notes that make up the song. It delves into the history of the song from the various artist that contributed.
