    YouTube user Vibrant Salad has covered Skepta's track using an acoustic guitar, his voice, and whatever he had lying around the house at the time of recording.

    His channel turns grime and hip-hop tracks into acoustic ballads, using whatever he can get his hand on - which in this case, includes a washing basket being used as a hi-hat.

    It's a take on Shutdown that you're unlikely to have heard before - it maintains the energy of the original, while feeling a lot more chaotic, which in this case, can only be a good thing.

    Check out the cover below - it'll inspire you to look around your house and see what you can use to play a cover of your favourite song. Your bed might just be your new drumkit.
