So this girl made me go and see the movie Fame. I thought it was gonna suck and be some unholy kind of cheesy, but naw, it was actually alright. The music choices were essential. From "Nocturne No. 20 in C-sharp minor" by Frédéric Chopin (which I only know cuz Alicia Keys gorgeously interpolated it for the intro to her last album) to "Ordinary People" by Johnny L. But my favorite was the insanely perfect rendition of "Black & Gold". Now I'd never heard this joint until I was introduced to the cover version by Phony Ppl, but it's a perfect song. I still got it stuck in my head.
So why don't you enjoy a few versions of it right here and decide for yourself who killed it the best.
Sam Sparrow - Black & Gold
Phony Ppl - Black & Gold (Cover)
Adele - Black & Gold (Live Cover)
Katy Perry - Black & Gold (Live Cover)
Guillemots - Black & Gold (Live Lounge Cover)
Now while there's gonna be 2% of the dope music in this next movie, I'm going to see Couples Retreat tomorrow night with the girl who I hope's gonna be my girl shortly after. Peace out.
... but do take my word for it.

Cuz If You're Not Really Here ...

Good Food
Really enjoy this joint right here by the dude Charlie Hilton. First full product heard off of his Good Food mixtape.
Check out the leaked post of it here. Really nice sample of "Hometown Glory". Love new-ish contemporary sampling. If this is any indication of how the tape is, it's gonna be as stellar as its original intention. And once No Really, I'm a Rapper EP drops you'll be able to hear the original version of "Back Home" off I Get That a Lot which is called "Toto". It's produced by Hilton if you didn't already assume it.
