Hideki Naganuma composed most of the music for Sonic Rush. His songs usually feature heavy sampling (adding short parts of other pieces of audio into a new piece), and Sonic Rush is no exception. An obvious sample is 'Back 2 Back' using the main melody from 'Louie Louie', but some are harder to spot, such as 'Jeh Jeh Rocket' using a bit of audio from African drum music and 'Wrapped in Black' using a speech by Malcolm X.
