Following the success of previous packs in Prime Loops "Rasta Vocal Sample" series which have been used by electronic music hitmakers Crookers, Major Lazer, Doctor P, Adam F and many more comes "Rasta Vocal Samples 3".

This latest addition to the series is sure to provide you with a thorough high-res compilation of quips, phrases and sentences to give your productions that extra edge with vocal samples that are fresher than a nice cold Red Stripe.
