Onra

Arnaud Bernard, better known by his stage name Onra, is a french hip hop beatmaker who resides in Paris.  A lot of his beats are linked to his nationality and culture.  In 2006 Onra went to Vietnam, where his grandparents are from, and brought back some 30 old Chinese and Vietnamese vinyl records. He then made a full album with this material, Chinoiseries, his most critically acclaimed album.  His single on the album, The Anthem, was chosen to be played in the Coca-Cola commercial for the Beijing Olympics.  This dude is legit dawg.  For real.  So I suggest that you check out his latest album Long Distance.  It's all about those 80's samples baby.
