K.R.I.T. kills this old Outkast tune and makes it his own for Johnny Shipe’s newest project, Good Talk Vol. 9. He rips it while he wonders if money, drugs etc. is all there is to life for this introspective track. The original beat is from “Jazzy Belle” by Outkast and it is very smooth and reminds me of a Devin the Dude beat except it is a little moodier and less upbeat. Get the MP3 for the track below and you can get the whole tape on Dec. 6th.

Yelawolf – “Pop the Trunk” (Unplugged Version)

I was unsure of what to call this stripped down version so I am going to call it the unplugged version because it is reminiscent of the MTV’s series they used to run when they still played music. Reading about the video I was skeptical that this song would translate well to a stripped down version but Yelawolf nails it. He brings a lot of emotion with his voice and the piano creates a serious mood even though you probably would think differently with a song titled “Pop the Trunk”. The official name of this whole brief documentary and live song is “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” and for those playing catch up or wanting to know more about the man, it presents a perfect opportunity to get to know him better as an artist and introduce you to his music so watch and listen.
