I never really liked this song for a long time, but then recently I heard it live and I loved it! What I love even more is really good covers, and this is one of them. Enjoy!

Aaah! First off, I am not a fan of Drake’s version, and that song is no joke on the radio. I hear it every 15 minutes on every other radio station. This acoustic cover on the other hand makes it sound sweet and cute. A little cheesy, but sweet-almost like a lullabye. Would’ve liked it better if the chick didn’t try to rap/sing some of the lyrics, but it’s still worth listening to. You can also watch a little homemade video from the girls here.

Another great cover by Marie Digby. Enjoy!
Here is another awesome cover… You know that one Soulja Boy song you hate but love? This cover is awesome!

Awesome covers are probably my favorite music specialties after mash ups. Peggy Sue covers my favorite Missy song “All In My Grill”. Something about seeing 2 hipster chicks sing this song is classic. Not to mention this song is totally relevant to my life right now! Enjoy!
Truly, Marie Digby has an amazing voice! I probably listened to this 15 times. View her Youtube Channel.
This is actually really exciting for hip-hop. I I love covers, and jazz covers are the sh*t! Not to mention I’m a huge Wu fan ( I even used to rock the Pink Wu Tang sticker on the car!)
New York-based vintage soul instrumental group, El Michels Affair are proud to announce the release of their highly anticipated upcoming studio LP, Enter The 37th Chamber. The album, full of adaptations of classic Wu-Tang Clan songs, will be available April 21st via Truth & Soul / Fat Beats Records.
At the core of a movement that includes Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, and The Budos Band, El Michels Affair are among the leaders of a retro-soul and funk movement causing a stir both in the streets and on the charts. Led by saxophonist/organist Leon Michels and producer/engineer Jeff Silverman, El Michels Affair comprises a collection of other musicians from The Dap-Kings, the Budos Band, and Antibalas. Although sharing similarities with these groups, the El Michels’ sound is its own - versatile enough to span genres including soul, funk, hip-hop, and punk rock. Always hard at work in the studio, El Michels Affair looks forward to stepping back into the spotlight to display that versatility on their new album, Enter The 37th Chamber.
For Enter The 37th Chamber, a name that pays homage to the title of the Wu-Tang Clan’s historic debut album, Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), El Michels Affair, took the time to interpret fifteen of some of the most legendary and well-known Wu-Tang Clan songs, including “Can It All Be So Simple,” “Protect Ya Neck,” “Cherchez La Ghost,” and “Incarcerated Scarfaces.” Also included on the album are the El Michel’s interpolations of Wu-Tang Clan anthems “C.R.E.A.M.” and “Bring Da Ruckus,” two songs fans will undoubtedly remember from their previous release as 7″ singles through the Truth & Soul label. Similar to the sounds found on those two records, on Enter The 37th Chamber El Michels Affair are able to bring their own astute musicianship, artistic touch, and soul vibe to each instrumental, breathing new life into already classic songs. It was that musicianship and versatile sound that led to El Michels Affair joining the Fat Beats family, and now, two years later, the album is finally ready for the masses.

They’ve done a cover of Brit’s Womanizer. Pretty entertaining. Tyson Ritter is damn good on that accordion.
Yet another “Day n Nite” cover, but a good one. I love how the piano sounds…
