# Samiyam returns with second album this summer
Michigan beatsmith **Sam Baker** aka **Samiyam** loves the details. If
you ever get your hands on one of the rare copies of his first proper
full-length release, the insanly dense beat-collection *Rap Beats
Vol.1*, you'll know what I mean. Every one of the CD-R releases had a
different artwork. Since then Baker has put out new material only
sporadically, but his sophomore LP titled *Sam Baker's Album* is about
to drop this summer via **Flying Lotus'** Brainfeeder imprint.
You can hear one track off the record, crooked beat piece 'Cushion', at
the bottom of this post or at Brainfeeder's [soundcloud][1]{:
target="_blank" .xmlblocklink}. And to give you a little idea of what
you are waiting for here's a few words from Brainfeeder's spin doctor:
*\"Sam Baker's Album is 40 minutes of deviant listening pleasure, a
series of woozy, off-center hip hop instrumentals drawing heavily on
Baker's love of electronic funk but never obligated to it.\"*
