The horns part in the hit single Roc Boys (And The Winner Is)... from Jay-Z last new album American Gangster is taken from Make The Road By Walking by Menehan Street Band.
Menehan Street Band is a supergroup of sorts consisting of members of the El Michels Affair, the dap-kings, and Antibalas. Tommy Brenneck, guitarist for El Michels Affair and the Dap-Kings, formed the group with Homer Steinweiss and recorded the tracks in the basement of his Brooklyn apartment, on Menehan street. Leon Michels, founder of Truth & Soul records and El Michels Affair, composed the horn line with trumpeter Dave Guy of Dap-Kings fame.
