Day 48

BADBADNOTGOOD - Flashing Lights (Kanye West cover)

Ah BBNG you never cease to amazing me when it comes to your material. If you haven't familiarized yourself in these gentlemen might I suggest doing so now. BBNG are a Canada based instrumental hip-hop/ jazz trio that used to specialize in hip-hop covers from Odd Future, Kanye West, MF DOOM, and Zelda (yes the game) among many others. Flashing Lights comes off of their second album BBNG2, and is what really got me into the group. It starts off as a cool bass and drum riff that at its apex cuts our and absolutely breathtaking strings come in. Anyways later in the sing we get what might be the juiciest keyboard solo on the album besides the one on Bastard/Lemonade. The whole thing propels forward for another 4 or so minutes to an absolutely amazing finale really doing the original justice even rising above its former self.

Sick live version...
