This weeks’ track of the week is Changes by the late, great Tupac. If you don’t like swearing then see if you can get the radio edit rather than the explicit version!
This is great track for working on your broken hi hat lines (if you’re at that stage). It’s also a good track for working on your stops, as well as your bass drum patterns.
Plus, if you fancy yourself as a bit of an MC why not try rapping over the top!?!?
Here’s the breakdown…
