Much of hip hop is based on sampling great tracks from yesteryears, and U.S. rapper J. Cole continues this great tradition on Can't Get Enough, one of the three confirmed tracks from his debut album. J. Cole's flow works brilliantly with the sampled track, but then that is to be expected from someone who's near the top of Vibe's list of Greatest Rappers Alive (Under 30).
We're pretty sure, though, that fans of African music of any sort who've heard to Can't Get Enough will either have recognised the sample, or will at least have wondered what it is. If you're in the latter group, or if you recognised it but couldn't quite place it, wonder no more.
The track is Paulette, is by Balla et ses Balladins (in the pic below), one of the most creative - but now mostly forgotten - bands to have emerged from the small West African country of Guinea's golden golden era of music. Below is the full original track for your listening pleasure.

Guinea used to be under French rule, but once it gained its independence in 1958, President Sékou Touré, a huge music fan, launched an "authenticite" campaign to nurture and celebrate the country's cultural riches and talent. Part of this involved creating and financially supporting music competitions and festivals throughout the country, but also hundreds of bands charged with creating new, traditional or traditionally-inspired music using a mix of Western instruments - saxophones, trumpets, electric guitars, etc. - and traditional instruments. It was a reaction against the cover versions of European music that bands had had to play under colonial rule. 
Since the "authenticite" bands were made up of the country's finest musicians the level of musicianship was very high, and Balla et ses Balladins (originally known as Orchestre du Jardin de Guinée) was one of the two best bands of the kind (the other was Keletigui Et Ses Tambourinis), producing one great album after another while holding down a 20-year residency at one of the country's leading dance venues, the Jardin de Guinee.
The band was led by the very talented trumpeter Balla Onivogui (after whom the band was named), one of those responsible for training the "authenticite" bands, as well as procuring their instruments. Other notable band members were lead guitarist Sekou "Le Docteur" Diabate, who, inspired by the country's kora music, was one of the first to develop a truly African style on the electric guitar, and rhythm guitarist Kemo Kouyate, a griot known for his inventive riffs and vamps.
The albums they recorded (from 1968 - 1980) appeared on the state-owned label Syliphone - which was launched specifically to document and preserve the country’s cultural treasures - and Paulette appeared in 1980 on Objectif Perfection, the band's very last album.
Balla et ses Balladins more or less broke up after Sékou Touré died in 1984 (the guy may have been a music fan, but he ran a violently-oppressive regime, so good riddance); the Sylliphone label dissolved, too. I say "more or less" because they did continue to play, in a fashion, but they no longer recorded, and Balla Onivogui himself retired in the late 1990s.
You can still get Objectif Perfection on vinyl, though it'll cost you a pretty penny, so you're probably better off getting it on CD or digital download (listen to samples). A much better idea, though, would be to get the 28-track Double-CD Balla et ses Balladins: The Syliphone Years, which, to date, is the most comprehensive compilation of the band's music, and includes most of the tracks from Objectif Perfection, including, of course, Paulette.
