I kinda dig interesting cover records when artists put their own spin on a popular record. My last.fm buddy KitKat909 put me on to this one. I think Colin Munroe did a good job of smoothing this one out and adding his own vibe to it. I know a lot of people are sensitive about covering Prince records as he is surely a one of a kind artist, but this is pretty dope. I ain’t madd.
Canadian artist Ebrahim flippin this classic Keith Murray joint. He’s been putting these together for a while now. Love to see cats throw together a sick record on the fly. Takes serious talent, something they have a lot of in t-dot. Big up to my peoples in the 88 days Collective. They’re making some serious noise up there as well…Enjoy
First off, let me say this. I like Kid Cudi. The moment that I stopped trying to pigeon-hole him as some kind of a pseudo-rapper and just appreciated his music for what it was, I instantly got into his vibe. As for the way he dresses, definitely not a fan of “mandex” jeans and all that. But his music is pretty good…good enough to be covered. My boy Bryan put me on to this cover of his song Pursuit of Happiness by an artist named Lissie. Had never heard of her before seeing this clip but I’ll be gott damned if she didn’t pour her heart into this. The video is shot extremely well too which only drives home the performance that much more. Given where I’m at in my life right now I really felt this one. Hope yall do too..
