Blood On The Leaves by Kanye West

“Blood on the Leaves” utilizes a sample of Nina Simone’s “Strange Fruit” to tell a tale of lost love. Production was handled by six producers, one of whom was Hudson Mohawke of TNGHT, known for the well-known 'Cbat'. In a Pitchfork interview, he discussed the creation of the song. I think Kanye had wanted to use that “Strange Fruit” sample for a while, but it was like, “How in the hell are you going to get that to fit?” But it miraculously came together. .
