To sample a song, an artist needs to obtain a license from the copyright owner of the sound recording (usually the artist or record label) and the copyright owner of the musical composition (usually the songwriter or publisher).
This process is known as "sample clearance" and involves obtaining consent and negotiating the terms of use, including royalty payments.

In April 2011—exactly 14 years ago—our Senior Partner, @AdeolaOyinlade, was invited by the @_AfricanUnion Commission to deliver a keynote address at the regional body’s Pre-Heads of States Meeting (Youth Forum) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. He spoke on how African Union member states can review national laws in compliance with the African Youth Charter.
The event was a precursor to the Heads of States’ Summit held later that year in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, where African leaders reviewed recommendations made at the pre-summit forum on the regional charter that enshrines the rights and responsibilities of young people on the continent.
At the forum, our Senior Partner met several global dignitaries, including:
H.E. Mr. Thabo Mbeki, the then immediate past President of South Africa
Amb. Michael Battle, the United States’ Ambassador to the African Union
Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, then Head of the UN Mission to Darfur
These dignitaries were in attendance for the Regional Peace and Security Meeting, where Mr. Oyinlade also shared his insight on international humanitarian crises in the region, leveraging his expertise in human rights and international law.
He was later welcomed to the Nigerian House by the Nigerian Ambassador to the African Union.
Mr. Adeola Oyinlade would go on to meet some of these dignitaries again at several UN speaking platforms across the world, including a notable reunion with Mr. Thabo Mbeki at the UN House in Nairobi, Kenya, in March 2012, where they both spoke at the UNDP and UN-HABITAT organized Youth Forum.
