What rap song is sampling Berlioz?

There's a new-ish Rap song out there. I heard it this weekend... can't remember where.
It's got a part sampled in from a song called "Songe d'une nuit de sabbat" or "Dream of a Witches Sabbath" from Symphony Fantastique by Hector Berlioz. What song is it?
The only version of the original I can find online (for free) is a synthesized recording here:

Skip to about 2:40 into it, you'll hear a bell and long, low notes.
It's the same music from the opening credits of The Shining, if that helps.

Lookie what I found!
I'm assuming the group is "The Second Coming".

I'm at work and can't listen to it, but if it's the part I'm thinking, then Berlioz himself "sampled" it from it's prior incarnation known as the "Dies Irae" theme.
Someone let me know if I'm right.

You are in fact correct, sourwookie. It's also used in Liszt's Totentanz, among other places.
