Putting together new covers for my Hip-Hop Orchestra and we're getting musicians coming out of the woodwork that want to rock with us. Some on traditional performance instruments and some not so much (lute, vibraphone, etc.)

Want to pick your brains on some Hip-Hop tracks that feature either solo instruments or groups of instruments that we can incorporate.

Examples:
Saxophone - TROY - Pete Rock + CL Smooth
Vibraphone - Award Tour - ATCQ
Flute - Watch Out Now - Beatnuts

Drop your answer under the corresponding instrument below or post your own if the instrument isn't listed.
