Where did the Young Jeezy sample of "Leave You Alone" come from?
Who Else Sampled It? Young Jeezy “Leave You Alone”
This morning when we were listening to the Young Jeezy “Leave You Alone” Madd Hatta asked where the sample of this song came from. He thought it was from a 90’s hip hop song. He was right….kind of. With a little bit of research here is what I found out.
Young Jeezy’s “Leave You Alone” is a sample from Lonnie Liston’s Smith “A Garden of Peace”
Listen for the sample @ the 1:00 mark.
