Heard cover artist might produce album using samples (6)
I believe the answer is:
rapper
'artist might produce album using samples' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'heard cover' is the wordplay.
'heard' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'cover' becomes 'wrapper' (I've seen this before).
'wrapper' is a homophone of 'RAPPER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rapper that I've seen before include "is making a hit?" , "Singer, sounds like covering" , "entertainer who recites to rock music" , "Modern musician" , "Jay-Z or 50 Cent, say" .)
