Classified’s “No Pressure” ft. Snoop Dogg and Dave Sampson wins Song of the Year at 2017 ECMAs!

When searching for that perfect hook for the lead single off his recent album “Greatful”, Nova Scotia’s Hip Hop Ambassador Classified sampled Dave Sampson’s catchy title track off his debut record “No Pressure, No Diamonds”. A radio smash hit featuring Snoop Dogg, this song picked up Song of the Year this past weekend at the 2017 ECMAs!

Congratulations to Songcamp’s Dave Sampson, Carleton Stone, Mo Kenney and Gordie Sampson for writing this killer hook!
