DJ Luke Nasty Responds After His “Melodies From Heaven” Remix Is Removed From Media Platforms: “I Sample To Pay Homage, It’s Never Disrespectful” (Exclusive Details)

DJ Luke Nasty is known for taking the hits we know and love and turning them into bops that we can turn up to! His most recent project turned Kirk Franklin’s “Melodies From Heaven” into a lil hip-hop song called “Rain”, but it doesn’t look like the remix went over well with Kirk.
We recently reported that Luke’s remix was removed from Twitter and SoundCloud due to copyright issues, just one day after Kirk Franklin took to the ‘gram making it known that he did not approve of the sample.

We spoke to Luke exclusively, and he let us know that sampling is just his way of paying homage to the songs and artists that people enjoy.
“Sampling is a culture,” he tells us. “Sampling is an art. I sample to pay homage. I sample because it feels good…it’s never disrespect, it’s music.”
Luke has sampled everyone from Usher to XCAPE and Tony! Toni! Toné! and says that his only goal is to givethe people what they want to hear.
“I take the Ls to make sure the fans get that nostalgic feeling. I take the Ls so that music is never forgotten.”

As we previously reported, Kirk Franklin took to Instagram to let fans know that he did not approve of the version of the song that DJ Luke put out, and y’all know he had his lil’ choir behind him.
“Y’all know me, y’all been knowing me for a long time. And y’all know I do some crazy stuff. But I have not cleared any other version but this version, this is the only version.”
