Lil Uzi Vert has included a cover of System Of A Down’s ‘Chop Suey!’ on his latest album. Check it out below.The cover arrived as part of the American rapper’s third studio album, ‘Pink Tape’, which arrived last week (June 30).However, the cover has remained somewhat overlooked since the album’s release — especially in light of star-studded collaborations from artists including Bring Me The Horizon — as it wasn’t clearly labelled as a cover of the heavy metal hit.Instead, the rendition arrived as the 17th song on the 26-song tracklist, and was simply titled ‘CS’ — leading to a few fans missing it at first glance.Arriving immediately after a song called ‘Fire Alarm’ and just before the Bring Me The Horizon collaboration ‘Werewolf’, ‘CS’ is a straight-up cover of the 2001 hit, taken from the band’s second album ‘Toxicity’.

Sampha has surprised fans with the release of his first single in six years, ‘Spirit 2.0’. Check it out below.This is Sampha’s first release since his 2017 Mercury Prize-winning debut album, ‘Process’, and features the likes of South London jazz composer and drummer Yussef Dayes, Spanish producer El Guincho, Canadian composer Owen Pallet — plus vocals from Yaeji and one half of Ibeyi, Lisa Kaindé Diaz.“It’s about the importance of connection to both myself and others, and the beauty and harsh realities of just existing,” said Sampha of the song’s lyrical meaning.

We are not a big fan of this new trend where songs are less than two minutes long, but this is fire!

Mac Miller‘s sophomore album, Watching Movies with the Sound Off, launched the Pittsburgh rapper into a new phase of his career — from dismissed gimmick to a bona fide artist, a label he continued to wear and develop until his untimely death from an accidental drug overdose in 2018. The 10th-anniversary edition of this key entry in Miller’s catalog is out today, and the tracklist sports a previously unreleased version of the album opener “The Star Room.” Branded the “OG Version,” the new rendition of “Star Room” features a more contemplative beat that foregrounds the song’s gummy synth lines and chops up a sample of a children’s choir.
