    There are covers??? Onya Boonie  …and then there are covvvers man.

    A UK artist going by the name of B.J Smith (pictured above) has come out with his ‘dedication to the greats’ series, with his takes on Mos Def, Outkast and The Pharcyde in this esteemed category. The selection suggests he’s well listened within hip hop, and the execution is simply brilliant.   

    Kicking things off at the end of 2012 with a very tasteful and interesting take on Mos Def’s ‘Umi Says’, he’s back with a second offering. The second 7” in this series gives both sides over to Outkast, with his interpretations of Hey Ya and Prototype.
     

    A purveyor of taste like Giles Peterson seems like the kind of guy that might connect with something like this, and his hat tip; “The sound of Sunrises around the world for years to come” should have you scrolling to hear more.
