Diddy and Bahamas both released new albums this past week — The Love Album: Off the Grid in the case of the former, and the country-tinged Bootcut for the latter. But the overlap goes deeper than that, since Diddy's album actually includes a prominent sample of Bahamas.
Diddy's song in question is "BooHoo," which features Jeremih. It's a twist on "All the Time" from 2014's Bahamas Is Afie. The similarity isn't immediately obvious, as "BooHoo" is significantly sped up compared to "All the Time" — but the connection comes out in the descending melody and the wordless backing vocal, as well as the sparse bass groove.
Hear both songs below.
Bahamas is featured in the latest edition of the Exclaim! Scrapbook, discussing influences including motorcycle boots and edibles inspired Bootcut.
