Difference between Original Samples & Sample Chops?

  1. Original Samples are made from scratch entirely by me. They ARE royalty free! If a release hits 1 million + on any platform we split 50/50! No copyright issues or third parties.
  2. Sample Chops are chopped samples I made on the MPC from records that include song name & title for clearing. You can still upload to streaming/beatstars and get paid for using these. You don't have to credit me because I only put you on to the sample!

Why do you make samples chops?

I LOVE Hip-Hop. I'm a student of hip-hop & seasoned crate-digger. I love using the MPC as an instrument & sampling is how hip-hop originated. There is a new and unique sound that comes from this. If you ever hit the pads, you know what I'm talking about. I will continue to Chop Da Soul on my MPC and upload all of my chops with names in packs for people to spread the soul to everybody! I'm anti-gatekeep and want to put people on to dope records, artist & channels! If you prefer original samples. We have that too!

Who makes all the dope cover art?

These dope graphic designers have all helped me bring my ideas to life!

What is Chop Da Soul?

Chop Da Soul is a sample library dedicated to all the crate diggers, soul choppers hip-hop & boom bap lovers. Started by me, Gio Gomez in 2025.

My goal is to spread the best/soulful sounds to as many producers. I've been spending years listening to & chopping samples. Now I am trying to build that same sound from scratch. With the knowledge I have soaked up hours spent studying the greats, I strive to implement that soul through inspiration from one producer to another.

Will you sell my samples?

Yes! Original ideas only please. (We are full on chops!)
