So it’s 2011 and Voltaire’s all like “originality is nothing but judicious imitation”, which basically means everything’s been done before and we’re not going to be reinventing the wheel anytime soon. But instead of getting bummed out, Swedish folk cum West coast hip hop collaborators jj have been making some unbelievably good covers, using everything from Jeremiah’s “Birthday Sex” to Dre’s “Detox” and Yeezy’s new album as source material to craft a weird hybrid of eerie, haunting, dope-infused hip hop music.
They just put out a new mixtape called KILLS that you can download here. It’ll blow your mind. If you need proof, check out “Still“- an epic reworking of classic source material.
