"Trespassing" is the second track from Skull Snaps' 1973 self-titled album, and like everything on that record, it features drums that sound like they were recorded in a bunker — dry, punchy, and right in your face. The Newark funk trio never achieved commercial success, but their recordings had a sonic quality that hip-hop producers would spend decades trying to replicate.

The break from "Trespassing" offered a different flavor from "It's a New Day" — slightly darker, slightly harder — and producers used both, sometimes in the same track. Skull Snaps' entire album became one of those rare records where every track is sample-worthy, a distinction shared by only a handful of artists.
